Our House Foundation News and Events
The Foundation has several scheduled event opportunities for our donors during the year:
- Direct Mail solicitation to localities hosting group homes during the months of September and November.
- Annual Year End Letter Writing to previous donors during December.
- The Annual Our House 5 Miler Run and 2 Mile Walk in Summit always scheduled for the first Sunday in May.
- Friends of Our House in West Orange stage a Letter Writing Campaign in May and fun events during the year.
The Foundation also participates in many Grant programs, Corporate Giving and Matching Funds, Planned Giving and a Major Donor Program.
The event highlight of the year is the Our House 5 Miler Run, held the first Sunday of May. Since 2000, this event has grown in popularity. The 5 Mile event is held in the beautiful streets of Summit's north side, beginning and ending at the Village Green in the heart of Summit. Over 600 people participate in an event sanctioned by the United States of America Track and Field Association. Opportunities to volunteer are many, as 100+ people make the event seamless. In addition, school-age volunteers can earn valuable Community Service credits.
