Last Year's 5K Run Sets Fundraising Record

Hosted by the Somerset Hills YMCA, the 2009 Annual Flag Run set a record for funds raised. This marked the sixth year the YMCA donated the proceeds to benefit homeless veterans receiving housing and services at Community Hope’s Hope for Veterans Program.

“We commend the YMCA for their outstanding commitment to our veterans in need, “said J. Michael Armstrong, Community Hope Executive Director. “For a nonprofit to dedicate their resources to an event of this scope and donate the proceeds to another cause is truly amazing.”

Corporate sponsors and individuals donated nearly $27,000 in support of the Hope for Veterans Program. Opened in 2004 as the largest transitional housing facility in the Tri-State area for homeless veterans, the program was expanded with the development of a new wing in 2008 and presently serves 95 veterans a day.
