    Join us on April 4th for the Mt. Salem in Rockford Park - Jesus 5K.

    Mt. Salem Church grew out of a community Sunday School movement. Before any public schools, starting in 1814 or 1815, the Brandywine Manufacturers’ Sunday School program of reading, writing, and ciphering along with Bible lessons was first conducted on the floor of a mill and then in its own building at the DuPont Powder Works. As public education became available the Brandywine Manufacturer’s Sunday School evolved into four Christian congregations. In 1841, St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church (President Biden’s Church) was formed, dropping out of the Sunday School. Mt. Salem Methodist Church was founded in 1847, leaving the Sunday School movement. In 1851, a third group withdrew from the Sunday School to organize the Greenhill Presbyterian Church. Finally, in 1856, the Brandywine Manufacturers’ Sunday School closed as Christ Episcopal Church opened for its people.

    Oakley Overcomes, Inc. presents:

    Mimosas for Marrow 5K

    Join us for the 4th annual Mimosas for Marrow 5K run/walk—a joyful, heartfelt event that brings our community together to support families affected by blood cancers and disorders, and to honor the incredible strength of those searching for a lifesaving bone marrow donor.

    Inspired by Oakley’s Journey

    This event was created by local moms, Sam and Brittany, after Sam’s daughter, Oakley, received a lifesaving bone marrow transplant in 2022. Her courage continues to fuel our mission to support NMDP and families right here in our community walking similar roads.

    Why It Matters

    Every 3–4 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer or disorder. For many, a matching donor is their only hope. Your presence, your steps, and your support truly make a difference.

    Your Impact So Far

    In just 3 years, the Mimosas for Marrow 5K has grown into something extraordinary:

    • 2,000+ participants

    • Strong support from businesses

    • Countless volunteers

    • Over $76,000 raised

    • 56 new potential bone marrow donors added to the registry—including two who have already saved lives

    Together, we are creating real, lifesaving change. Register today and bring your friends—let’s run, walk, sip, smile, and make an impact together!
