PARSIPPANY, NJ—Like most fundraising organizations, the Parsippany High School Band Boosters had to get creative this year. So, with the pandemic making large gatherings impossible, the boosters' annual 5K Run/Walk will be virtual.
"This year, we're not really having competitions," said Band Boosters spokesman Pete Giordano, "and big gatherings are out, so we had to do it a bit different this year."
Giordano said all funds raised go directly to the PHS Band Boosters general fund, which helps finance the boosters' annual scholarships.
Registration for the event is $20 and is open until Oct. 10. Participants can begin once they receive their official t-shirt around Oct. 19. They will have until Oct. 30 to complete their 5k (3.1 miles)
"We ask everyone to take a photo when they finish and send it to us," said Giordano. "It's not a verification thing, we like to put them on our Facebook page."
Those that can't do the run/walk can still donate to the Boosters by check payable to PHS Band Boosters, P.O. Box 255, Lake Hiawatha, NJ 07034. Anyone with questions can email phsbandboostervp@gmail.com.
