From Brightview Senior Living: Brightview Senior Living’s second annual Age is Just a # 5K Run/ Walk is quickly approaching.

The event will be held on Saturday, June 24 at 8:30 am at the Ma & Pa Trail, Williams Street entrance in Bel Air, Maryland.

One hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit Harford County’s Office on Aging’s Senior Emergency Fund, a fund established to assist Harford County seniors who find themselves in difficult circumstances with no other resources on which to rely.

“Last year’s event was so successful,” explains Jen Bourgeois, Executive Director at Brightview Bel Air. “We want to continue the spirit and spread the word that age is simply a number.”

“It will be another great day and will benefit a great cause,” affirms Andy Anderson, Executive Director at Brightview Avondell. “The county’s Senior Emergency Fund is essential for seniors in need.”

“Senior Emergency Funds have made a difference in the quality of life and independence for many seniors in the county,” adds Karen Winkowski at the Office on Aging’s Senior Emergency Fund. “We are honored to be included in this special event.”

Age groups for the 5K include children 12 and under, ages 13-59 and over 60. Cash prizes for the top three male and female runners will be awarded and medals will be given in each of the following categories: 12 and under, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+.
