hot dogs, hamburgers, and an array of salads, along with a Ri-
ta’s Ices stand. Families sat together and listened as the biggest
fundraisers and the fastest runners were awarded with metals
and trophies.
Diana Baron told me just how she feels at “that time of year,”
when it’s time to sign up and start helping with the races: “It’s
so exciting. We’re all anticipating it. JCN is an amazing orga-
nization. We should all be so thankful that we have such an
organization. And it’s fun! I’m just so happy that I can be a part
of it.”
Altogether, the JCN 5K woman’s race brought in almost
$130,000, while the men’s race brought in $105,000. Both races
set new fundraising records. The JCN is a pillar in our commu-
nity, an organization that goes above and beyond to help the
families of those suffering from life-threatening illnesses. Sev-
eral years ago, my family was one of those that benefited from
the JCN’s tremendous acts of chesed. I want to thank all who
donated for making it possible for the Jewish Caring Network to
keep doing what it does.
I may not know everyone in our beautiful community, but I
can say that I am proud to be a Baltimorean. u
