Special thanks to Stamford Running Club’s founder AJ Schrag who warmed up the walkers and runners before they hit the course! Following the 5K, SPEF’s was thrilled to host the Mayor’s Multicultural Council for a series of cultural performances and dances that truly symbolized the diversity of Stamford.
SPEF’s FallFest included interactive, hands-on activities for kids presented by Ferguson Library, Stamford Cradle-to-Career, and SPEF’s Books Across Stamford book giveaway! Thank you to these great community partners!
Additionally, thank you very much to all of our great volunteers, the International Alliance of Chaplains CT, and the Stamford Police Department who supported us throughout the day!
Without their support, we wouldn’t be able to put on such an impactful and enjoyable event.
