Runners, walkers, and supporters from across New Castle County will come together on April 23, 2026, at Abessinio Stadium for the 13th Annual Lt. Joseph Szczerba Memorial 5K, a meaningful event honoring the life and legacy of a true Salesian Gentleman and community hero.

The race was established in memory of Lieutenant Joseph Szczerba ’85, an 18-year veteran of the New Castle County Police Department and proud Salesianum alumnus, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty on September 16, 2011. Founded by his widow, Kathy Szczerba, the event supports the Szczerba Memorial Scholarship, which provides educational assistance to the children of First Responders. Each step taken and mile completed helps continue Lt. Szczerba’s legacy of service, sacrifice, and commitment to others, with all proceeds benefiting the scholarship fund.

Please join us for the Nurses Week 5K!

The profession of nursing is often one that is self-less, however, research tells us that when we take care of ourselves, we are better able to care for others. The idea for the 5K came about from the desire to promote wellness, comradery and joy amongst the Caregivers of ChristianaCare. In the spirit of Relationship Based Care, to make a commitment to our patients, our colleagues and ourselves. Our hope is to inspire healthy lifestyles, work life balance and teamwork at a fun and exciting event for ChristianaCare caregivers and their families and friends. Whether you choose to run or walk, we are hopeful to make this year's Nurses Week 5K one of our best yet.

This year's event is free, however we encourage donations. All donations this year will be going to Nurses House - a nurse-managed, nonprofit organization helping nurses in need across the United States. Please click the 'donate' button on this screen to support today!

We are two Delaware Occupational and Speech Therapists who are planning the 3rd Annual Stroke Awareness 5k Run/Walk event.

We have identified a need for support and awareness in our community for stroke survivors and their caregivers. Our hope is to connect this wonderful community with local businesses and resources to shed a light on this important cause.

Proceeds from this race will go towards supporting our foundation's financial grant that is available to anyone living within the state of Delaware, to be used for any stroke related care not covered by insurance. Some costs that the grant covers include but are not limited to: adaptive clothing, adaptive equipment to improve safety and quality of life, mobility related DME, transportation to and from appointments, speech generating devices, and thickener secondary to dysphagia.

On Saturday, May 16th, 2026, the Delaware Farm Bureau Foundation is hosting the 13th Annual Milk Run/Walk at Ramsey’s Farm in Wilmington, DE. All net proceeds will go to The Ministry of Caring’s “Milk for Children Fund”, the Food Bank of Delaware “Backpack Program”, and the Delaware Farm Bureau Foundation’s efforts to advance agricultural literacy.

The Ministry of Caring in Wilmington serves about 500 nutritious meals at no cost to needy and hungry men, women, and children daily, with milk being just one of their offerings at the table. The Food Bank of Delaware’s Backpack Program provides food for at-risk children on the weekends and holidays when school is not in session.

We are thrilled to say we have raised over $260,000 in the last 12 years of the event. While our success has set the bar high, we hope to keep that number growing. Proceeds from the event support Delawareans from across the state and help them to better understand agriculture and from where their food originates.

Please join us in this worthy cause by donating to help continue to provide milk and food for these children.
