The Oxford Community Center, a 501 3C has partnered with the Christopher Foundation for Life, to host a fundraising 5K road race on Saturday October 22, 2022.  The Christopher Foundation for Life, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charity organization founded in memory of Christopher Bradley of Oxford, who tragically took his own life at the age of 17.  The Foundation was formed to be able to help people – especially teens, struggling with anxiety, depression, and behavioral health issues.  With your financial help, the foundation will continue to support expanded mental health programs in our area.

The 5-K race anticipates attracting more than 150 local runners and offers a 1-mile fun walk.  The race will be managed by TCR Event Management of St Michaels.  For this event, we’re aiming to raise $15,000 and hope you consider corporate sponsor.  In this role, your business would select a level, see below, and be recognized on t-shirts and prominently featured in event press signage.
