Renew Your Resolution & Support Your Community
Commit to Get Fit on September 25 at Broadway Park
Did you make a New Year’s resolution to get moving, improve your fitness or spend more time outside? Now that it’s spring, renew your resolution with us!
St. Joseph Healthcare has challenged our community to commit to get fit in 2022! Start training now and join us for a walk/run at our annual Commit to Get Fit event on Sunday, September 25, at Broadway Park in Bangor. Whether it’s your first 5K, a favorite annual tradition, or an easy way to get the whole family outside together, Commit to Get Fit is a great way to help reach your goals this year. There’s even a fun run for kids!
All proceeds from race registrations, donations and sponsorships will benefit the St. Joseph Healthcare’s Sexual Assault Forensic Examiners (S.A.F.E.) program. This program provides professional, trauma-informed nursing care for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, elder and child abuse and human trafficking. The continuing support from the annual Commit to Get Fit event has helped the S.A.F.E. program grow its impact. In 2021, we
served 186 survivors and educated 593 community partners. In 2022, the event proceeds will help us hire more S.A.F.E.-certified nurses, so that this invaluable program can be available 24/7 to survivors throughout Maine.
Last year, 486 people took on the Commit to Get Fit challenge and ran or walked with us. This year, you can too! Do it for you, do it for your community.
Get Ready!
