This year, the School for Social Work is participating as a team in Northampton's 12th annual Hot Chocolate Run! The event will take place Sunday, December 6, 2015, and includes a 3k walk, a 5k "fun run" and a 5k race. At the end of the walk or run, participants receive a mug designed by local cartoonist Hilary Price ("Rhymes with Orange") and abundant, delicious hot chocolate! It is a fun family-friendly event that brings thousands of people to the center of Northampton -- and the registration fees benefit Safe Passage, a Hampshire County non-profit that addresses domestic violence.
In addition to knowing you are joining us in supporting an important cause, being part of our team means you'll be part of our festivities leading up to and after the event, you can choose to walk or run with team mates, AND you'll receive an SSW "Got skills?" t-shirt* to wear on race day.
Already registered? Don't want to walk or run -- but ready to cheer for us instead?
You can still be part of the team! Just send email Karissa or Ty to let us know you want to be part of our team in spirit. We'll include you in messages, festivities -- and you'll still get a "Got Skills?" t-shirt to wear on race day.
*T-shirts are all XL and XXL -- perfect to wear as a layer over other running/walking gear on a chilly December day!
