We are grateful that, over the years, the A8K and TF2K have enabled us to support so many important projects – large and small. In fact, the tremendous success of the 2021 and 2022 races allowed GREF to fund several learning initiatives and meet emergent needs of teachers faced with delivering education in ways never imagined.
Donations are welcome HERE!
The Ashenfelter 8K Classic and Tom Fleming 2K are produced by the Glen Ridge Educational Foundation, a not for profit 501(c)3 organization. Proceeds from the event support innovative programs in the Glen Ridge Public Schools.
The Glen Ridge Educational Foundation thanks our Top Sponsors as well as ALL of our sponsors.
