HeartShare dedicates charity run to Sandy victims
HeartShare Human Services of New York is dedicating its 33rd Annual Buckley’s – Kennedy’s 5K Charity Run to the people of Breezy Point who are still trying to rebuild their lives after Hurricane Sandy. The race is a yearly fundraiser that HeartShare, a non-profit social service agency based in downtown Brooklyn, sponsors to provide money for its programs. This year, the proceeds from the event will be split between HeartShare and the http://www.breezypointcoop.org/index.php/Home.html Breezy Point Co-op, an organization of shareholders who are assisting victims, HeartShare officials announced.
The race will take place on Sunday, May 19 starting at 10 a.m. The exact route of the race is still being mapped out, according to organizers. But the finish line will be at the Breezy Point Ball Field. Following the race, a family picnic will be held on the ball field. In past years, the race’s starting line was located outside Buckley’s, a Sheepshead Bay restaurant. The finish line was always located at Kennedy’s, a Breezy Point eatery. That will change this year as the finish line is being moved to the ball field.
The theme of this year’s race is “Run…Rebuild…Revive.”
