WAMDA's 29th Annual 5K Run/Walk Goes Virtual
After much consideration and discussion among the board of directors, WAMDA has decided to change our 29th Annual 5K Walk/Run to a fully virtual event. Regardless, we still hope to match, if not beat last year's funds raised for the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts.
