Students volunteer at 9/11 Remembrance Half Marathon

Thirty-three of Westfield State’s student ambassadors recently volunteered at the Westfield Half Marathon, which raises tens of thousands of dollars annually to support Westfield Boys & Girls Club youth programs.

This year’s “Race to Remember” is a Westfield Half/5K/10K and Kids Fun Run. In 2019, the last time it ran, the race raised $28,000.

This year, the race was changed from June due to COVID-19 uncertainties and Sept. 11 was selected as the date, calling it a “Race to Remember” to commemorate the 20-year anniversary of 9/11/2001.
