Celebrate health, wellness and a beautiful morning before you and your family head on to Summerfest festivities in Hastings throughout the day.
Your participation and support can make a significant impact, as all proceeds will go to the Corewell Health Foundation at Pennock Hospital to reinvest in programs offered through the Pennock Wellness Center.
Through participating in this event, you are helping to expand Wellness Center programs like Momentum, which helps patients regain mobility and strength. Additionally, your support will help us add equipment to strengthen our community and prevent injuries, both at home and work. You also enable us to offer the Kids's Fun Run at Summerfest free of charge, fostering healthy habits from a young age.
