Hockomock YMCA holds Spier Family Kindness for Kids 5K

On Saturday, Sept. 14, the Hockomock Area YMCA will hold the Spier Family Kindness for Kids 5K and Family Fun Day at the Y’s Invensys Foxboro Branch. This annual event includes a 5K, a free Kids Fun Run for ages 12 and under, and free family-friendly activities provided by the YMCA and community partners. All proceeds from the day’s event will benefit the Hockomock Y’s Food Access Programs.

Greg Spier, longtime YMCA board member, community leader and Foxborough resident, expressed, “My wife Kathy and I are so excited to sponsor this great event again this year, bringing families together for healthy activities while raising awareness of our Y’s ongoing food security programs.”

The 5K will begin at 8 a.m., and individuals, families and teams are welcome to run or walk. The Kids Fun Run will begin at 9 a.m. From 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., all are welcome to participate in the Spier Family Fun Day located at 67 Mechanic Street in Foxboro – a free family event where children can take part in activities, crafts, and more.

“The Spier Family Kindness for Kids 5K & Family Day is an important event on our YMCA calendar.  The day celebrates and reinforces our focus on healthy living and our commitment to raise funds for our Food Access initiative to help eliminate hunger in our area communities,” said Jim Downs, CEO of the Hockomock Area YMCA. “We are forever grateful for the tremendous support of Greg and Kathy Spier and the Spier Family as our presenting sponsors.”

Online registration for the Spier Family Kindness for Kids 5K and the Kids Fun Run are open now. Interested participants can register for the 5K for $25. There is no charge for the Fun Run, but advance registration is required. Further details and registration information is available at www.hockymca.org/5k-family-day.
