“DREAMer” has been used to describe young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children, who have lived and gone to school here, and who, in many cases, identify as American. Many of them, as students, are not eligible for federal or state financial aid or other types of tuition assistance.
The Greater Reading Immigration Project (GRIP) seeks to help these students, and the GRIP Dreamer Scholarship Fund of Berks County Community Foundation was created to address this need. GRIP is holding its first annual 5K Race and Fun Run to raise money for the scholarship fund.
The event will be held on Saturday, April 2, 2022, at 10 a.m. at Schlegel Park.
- To sponsor the event, complete the form and submit it to Sally Cox.
- Optional space is available to set up a stand and showcase products and services under the covered pavilion.
- Additionally, if you would like to donate merchandise or services to be used in the race, please contact us.
