Everyone has a memory of their first merry-go-round. The music, sounds, lights, and colors are something that sticks with you for your entire life. But these amazing machines that bring so many people amusement and joy require a lot of maintenance and care so that future generations can enjoy them just as we have!

The Greater Binghamton Area is home to six carousels, earning us the title of the Carousel Capital of the World. The Carousel at CFJ Park is the largest and most ornate of them all. The CFJ Carousel 5K and Kids Fun Run is not only a celebration of this beautiful carousel but also of the community and those who keep these childhood dreams alive.

Come one, come all, and join us for this fun, festive 5K supporting the CFJ Carousel and the Johnson City Rotary Carousel Day! A portion of proceeds go directly back to the Johnson City Rotary to support their efforts in keeping our Johnson City beautiful.

    We do this event to raise money that we directly contribute to our local Sock Out Cancer Organization here in Binghamton, New York. The monies we raise than gets granted from Sock Out Cancer to our local Hospital Foundations and The Mercy House to manage and distribute to the local cancer patients in our own Community. Below are the amounts we have been able to contribute each of the five years that we have been doing this wonderful event. We are hoping and looking forward to this year – our 8th Anniversary year to be even bigger and better!!!

    We have assisted many of our own patients by submitting the patients bills directly to the

    Hospital Foundations for consideration in granting and paying the patient personal

    expenses/bills to assist with their financial burden while being treated for cancer. Without this

    event and Sock Out Cancer many of our own patients would struggle with financial hardships

    during a very traumatic time in their lives. We are glad to be able to do our part to help our

    Community and cancer patients!
