Woods Services in Bucks County Invites You to Join the 2021 Virtual Run for Woods

March 16, 2021

https://www.woods.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/RunForWoodsPromo2021_V4.mp4

Woods Services in Langhorne, Pa., invites runners, walkers and rollers of all abilities to participate in the 2021 Virtual Run for Woods 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run presented by Faulkner-Ciocca Dealerships. A live broadcast stream at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 1 will kick off the festivities and can be viewed at www.runforwoods.org. The event supports Woods Services programs that benefit individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and acquired brain injury.

 

This is the second year the annual Run for Woods will be held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year’s event raised more than $147,000 from participants and sponsors and helped fund technology to assist virtual learning and therapeutics, as well as additions to the Woods campus to enhance recreational activities that provided fresh air and exercise while observing pandemic safety protocols. This year Woods Services aims to raise $200,000, and with the generous support from sponsors and race fundraising teams, is over halfway to its goal.

 

“We are grateful to the running community, our sponsors and Bucks County neighbors, and our Woods families and friends for their support of our 7th annual Run for Woods,” said Tine Hansen-Turton, president and CEO of Woods Services. “Their participation assists us in providing exceptional educational, vocational, and recreational opportunities that enrich lives and increase independence, as well as raise awareness for Woods Services’ continuum of care, which focuses on integrated healthcare, prevention, wellness, education, behavioral health, social services, and housing.”

 

Interested Run for Woods participants can register at www.runforwoods.org. A $25 fee includes an official race t-shirt, which will be mailed in advance of the event for those who sign up by March 31. Participants, community members, and businesses are also invited to underwrite participation for a Woods resident and his/her support staff member with a donation of $90. They are encouraged to share photos and videos with the Woods community and family and friends using #R4W on social media.

 

Along with presenting sponsor Faulkner-Ciocca Dealerships, the 2021 virtual Run for Woods is sponsored by Homestead Smart Health Plans, Johnson Kendall Johnson, Parx Casino, Conner Strong & Buckelew, Ethos Group, Hangley Aronchick Segal Pudlin & Schiller, Barry & Michelle Sharer, Allies, Colours Inc., The First National Bank and Trust Company of Newtown, The Kimmelman Family, Synergy Pharmacy Services, Bayada Home Health care, Boyle Construction, cars.com, Crown Holdings, Epstein Becker & Green, Fenningham Dempster & Coval LLP, GM Financial, Ridge Policy Group, Rob’s Automotive & Collision Center, Roscommon International, Tabor Children’s Services, and Top to Bottom Home Improvements LLC.

Award-Winning Run for Woods Set for May 6

April 20, 2017

Langhorne, PA— Woods Services will hold its third annual Run for Woods on Saturday, May 6, 2017, with Faulkner-Ciocca Dealerships once again serving as the Presenting Sponsor. In September, the Run for Woods was presented with three awards from the Best of Bucks contest sponsored by the Courier Times: Best Fundraiser, Best Outdoor Event and Best Family Event. Last year’s event drew more than 1,000 registrants and raised more than $205,000 for educational, vocational, and recreational opportunities for the more than 675 children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are served by Woods Services. Families, friends and the local community are invited to participate alongside more than 200 individuals served by Woods by running, walking, or rolling in the 5K or 1 Mile Fun Walk.

 

The 5K is a flat and fast route that starts on the Woods campus and takes runners, walkers, and rollers through Langhorne Manor Borough and the Borough of Langhorne, both historic districts listed on the National Register. Participants will enjoy the beautiful tree-lined shaded streets of the Boroughs before returning to Woods for the final mile of the Run. Roads will be secured to ensure the safety of all 5K participants and those participating in the 1 Mile Fun Walk will remain on the Woods campus. An awards ceremony, picnic lunch, entertainment, and Fitness Fair will follow the 5K/1 Mile Fun Walk. Carrabba’s Italian Grill and Outback Steakhouse (both located on Tillman Drive in Bensalem) will be on site cooking up their signature dishes for race participants. Desserts will be provided by Corner Bakery Café.

 

 

Online registration will remain open at www.runforwoods.org until May 3. The cost is $40 per person and discount registration options are available for children 12 and under. Registrations will also be accepted the morning of the event for $45/person. This is a family-friendly event and all participants ages 7 and up will receive a t-shirt, medal, and an individual online fundraising page with the option to create a fundraising team.
