The Women’s Fund Tiara Race Team will hold its 8th Annual Women’s Fund Tiara 5K, walk and fun run, to take place on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 11. As in prior years, the race will start and finish at the Oxford Creamery. Registration opens at 7 a.m., with the Children’s Fun Run starting at 9 a.m. and the 5K starting at 9:30 a.m.

Through the efforts of these runners and walkers, and many generous sponsors, the Women’s Fund Tiara 5K has become the largest fundraising activity of the Women’s Fund as well as its signature event. Last year’s event attracted close to 1,000 participants and raised more than $40,000.

Registration is $30 for the 5K and $5 for the kids fun run.

The mission of the Women’s Fund at the Community Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts is to advance the educational attainment and economic security of women and girls in Southeastern Massachusetts. Organized by a committed “Tiara Team” of volunteers, the Women’s Fund Tiara 5K began seven years ago to offer women and their families the opportunity to engage in a philanthropic, family friendly, Mother’s Day activity on a day that celebrates women and motherhood. Revenue from the Tiara 5K will support all Women’s Fund activities.
