Run For Tomorrow's Hope
Saturday, April 1, 2023
The Annual Run for Tomorrow’s Hope is Long Island’s largest family-friendly athletic event supporting Catholic schools, including a Fun Run and 5K Race. Directed by THF Board Member, Dr. Michael Spinelli, the run showcases the spirit and vitality of Catholic education on Long Island.
After two years, the 7th Annual Run for Tomorrow’s Hope was held in person once again at St. Joseph Elementary School in Garden City. Most Reverend Richard G. Henning blessed nearly 500 runners at the starting line, 247 of whom were Catholic school students and teachers.
Thank you to the sponsors, volunteers, and all who made this day such a “runaway” success! A special thank you to Run Director and THF Board Member, Dr. Michael Spinelli. With your support, over $20,000 was raised for Long Island's Catholic elementary schools, bringing the total to more than $120,000 since 2015.
