Bampa’s House has announced that they will be sponsoring the Tenth Annual 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, September 5th, 2026, at Craig Park in Painted Post, NY. The purpose of the race is to raise money for Bampa’s House and celebrate the life of Jim Dugan, the namesake of Bampa’s House. Jim, who was called Bampa by his grandchildren, was a life-long resident of the Corning-Painted Post area, spending his career at Corning Community College, volunteering through the Lions Club, and facilitating beer tastings at The Site.
Participants are encouraged to run or walk the 3.1 mile course that includes the beautiful Painted Post Trail and winds through the streets of Painted Post where Jim lived. Alternatively, for those who cannot or choose not to participate in person, participants can join us virtually! Just send us your time and we will mail you your t-shirt for participating!
Become a fundraiser for Bampa’s House! You can collect donations through your own fundraising page just for participating. It’s easy to set up!
All proceeds from the race will go to Bampa’s House. Bampa’s House (Corning Comfort Care, Inc.) is a non-profit organization that serves the Steuben, Chemung, and Schuyler county areas and focuses on providing a safe and comfortable place for people to receive end-of-life care when home care is not an option.
