On Saturday, April 18th, we hosted the 19th Annual Carnegie Volunteer Fire & Rescue Bureau 5k Run/Walk which directly supports our 100% volunteer fire department. The 5k is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the fire department and a great way to show off our vibrant business district. This year we raised $30,087 from 71 sponsors and 296 registrants.
We wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who made this day possible, starting with our participants who joined us bright and early on race day. Without their continued turn out, a race would not be possible. We see representation from all over southwestern Pennsylvania and even as far as Virginia and Florida.
We are grateful to have the support of dozens of sponsors who were either Carnegie small businesses or Borough vendors, many of which have been supporting this event for years. Several donors reached out to offer supplies to support our participants: Caltronics donated sports drinks, Crystal Springs donated water, Monteverde's Produce donated fruit, Carnegie Coffee Company donated coffee, and Jazzercise Carnegie hosted a free-warm up class in the parking lot.
The continuation of the 5k would not be possible without the months of planning and the combined effort from Borough Administration, Public Works, Police, and Fire. While the 5k is only a couple of hours, one day a year, there are hours of planning and coordination to make it happen safely. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time on an early Saturday morning and for their assistance in the hours of work leading up to the event. The 5k would not run as smoothly as it does without this incredible group of volunteers.
We encourage everyone to support their local volunteer fire department and join us next year for all of the exciting things we have planned for the 20th CVFRB Annual 5k Run/Walk!
