On Sunday, August 25th 2019, Filling in the Blanks will host the second annual Unite to Fight 5K.  The race will once again take place at New Canaan High School and will be run through the idyllic Waveny Park in New Canaan.  This race seeks to build community and raise funds to provide weekend meals for children facing food insecurity in local neighborhoods. 

 

In Fairfield County, more than 33,000 children are not sure where their next meal will come from.  Most will get breakfast and lunch from school every weekday, but many will go from Friday lunch until Monday at breakfast without a decent meal.  Filling in the Blanks is an organization that fills in those weekend gaps by providing each child in its program with a backpack filled with healthy food for the weekend.  When the obstacle of food insecurity is removed, children experience increased academic achievement in school and increase opportunities for success in their lives. 

  

Founded in 2013 by two Fairfield County residents, Tina Kramer and Shawnee Knight, Filling in the Blanks is a 501c3 non-profit organization that has grown from serving 50 kids to serving more than 2,100 kids in Fairfield and Westchester counties. 

 

The Unite to Fight event was inspired through the memory of Kristen Reynolds Ruth, a local kindergarten teacher, mother and friend, who passed in 2011 after a 7 year battle with cancer, and was deeply passionate about working with and helping children.  The event was created and is directed by her daughter, a NCHS alumni, Britt Gardella. 

  

We hope you can join us at Unite to Fight - not only to run this 5k but to support Filling in the Blanks in the fight against childhood hunger.
