    The Bridesburg Memorial Day Parade is one of the oldest and longest Memorial Day Parades in Pennsylvania. After World War II, Bridesburg resident, Edward Dubeck's mission in life was to make sure people remember all service members who didn't make it home from war.

    In the late 1970s, the United Veterans of Bridesburg was founded by Bridesburg residents, Edward DuBeck, John 'Moose' Muszynski, and the Commanders of both VFW Post 2 and American Legion Post 821 to continue to remember those who served in defense of our American values.

    The mission of the Bridesburg Memorial Day 5K is to help raise funds to be sure that this special parade will continue to honor all who have served, past and present. Donations will be greatly appreciated.

    In order to continue to honor all of those who have served, past and present, in defense of our American Values, The United Veterans of Bridesburg are holding this 5K Memorial Run and 1 Mile Honor Walk to raise funds to help make Mr. DuBeck's annual parade a success. The run will start and finish near the front of the Bridesburg Recreation Center. The run begins at 8:30 AM

    Same Bar Run, New Fantastic Cause

    Join us in the fight against cancer at the 47th Philadelphia Bar Association 5K Run/Walk in Fairmount Park

    For nearly half a century, the Philadelphia Bar Association has supported important causes in our community. This year, we are excited to introduce a new charity partner for the Bar Run: Anchors, an Inperium Foundation.

    Anchors was established in 2019 to honor the legacy of Carol Camp, a woman who brought hope and compassion to patients and caregivers even as she faced her own battle with ovarian cancer. Since her passing, her mission has lived on in Anchors' unwavering support to people affected by cancer, offering comfort, care, and essential assistance during their time of need.
