New Canaan, CT – Filling in the Blanks (FITB), a nonprofit dedicated to combating childhood hunger, is excited to announce its Seventh Annual Unite to Fight 5K, set to take place on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at Waveny Park in New Canaan, CT. This event is a vital part of FITB’s ongoing mission to provide nutritious meals to children in need over the weekends.
The race will generate essential funding for FITB to continue supporting 10,000 children weekly at locations across Fairfield, Westchester and Putnam Counties through their weekend meal program and school-based pantries. Proceeds from the race will also support FITB’s newest initiative, The Fresh Food on the Move mobile pantry. The mobile pantry launched in October 2023 and, to date, has served 698,000 pounds of food to thousands of local families, specifically in Norwalk, Bridgeport and Stamford. With less than 1% of food donated to FITB’s program, funding from the race plays a pivotal role in addressing the growing demand for FITB’s multiple food assistance programs for families struggling with food insecurity.
This year’s event is proudly sponsored for the third consecutive year by Silver Golub & Teitell LLP.
"The Unite to Fight 5k supports the incredible and, unfortunately, necessary work that Filling in the Blanks does to combat childhood hunger in Fairfield County and beyond. And it's a fun event for all the family." says Silver Golub & Teitell partner Peter Dreyer.
