Looking for a local run this May?
The Alex Wake Memorial 5K Run and 1-Mile Walk will begin and end at campus on May 5. From Baldwin:
The 9th Annual Alex Wake Memorial 5K Run & 1 Mile Family Fun Walk continues to provide our community at Baldwin and on the Main Line with a better understanding of, and the resources available for, women’s health, empowerment of women, and combating domestic violence. In addition to funding an endowed scholarship in Alex's name, a percentage of the proceeds help underwrite Blue Gray's endeavor in support of Baldwin Athletics, including educational programs for all divisions.
