Join us for the Nantucket Police Charitable Association 5K run/walk!
This race is not just about fitness, but also about giving back to our island community. All funds raised will go directly to local initiatives, supporting the people of Nantucket. In the past, we have used funds raised to give graduating high school seniors and alumni scholarships, the annual Children’s Christmas Party, our Pink Patch project supporting the Marla Ceely Lamb fund, youth programs, and other local community based organizations.
