Lt. Joseph Szczerba Memorial 5K

Join us for The Compassion 5K, a community-centered race supporting both people and pets in need of compassionate care. Hosted by Griswold Home Care, this event brings together runners, walkers, families, and animal lovers to make a positive impact in New Castle County.

Proceeds from the race will benefit Faithful Friends Animal Society - helping provide food, care, and safe housing for furry friends. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, casual walker, or simply want to support the cause, this event offers something for everyone.

Together we hope to raise awareness in care options for our loved ones – both people and pets.

Join Mother, Baby & Beyond for our 3rd Annual 'Say Her Name' 5K & Family Fun Day as we come together to honor mothers we've lost to preventable maternal deaths while celebrating life, resilience, and hope.`

Maternal deaths are rising in the U.S., and more than 80% are preventable. This community-centered event is dedicated to addressing maternal health disparities through education, advocacy, and connection to community resources and support. Together, we honor the lives of mothers lost, amplify their stories, and support ongoing efforts to strengthen women's health initiatives focused on improving outcomes for mothers and babies.

This family-friendly event creates space to walk in solidarity and advocate for healthier futures for all mothers and babies. Whether you run, walk, or cheer, your participation sends a powerful message.

Walk with us. Learn with us. Advocate with us.
