Come join us for a good time, for a good cause! Funds raised will support our Nutritional Support Program! Last year, our event assisted SBSNE, Inc. in supporting four families with a monthly stipend for the length of one year to go towards nutrition costs. Let's increase that number and help many more families in 2018!

What is the purpose of the SBSNE, Inc. 5K Run/Walk?

We have goals of producing a Nutritional Support Program for our children's nutrition costs. Ultimately, we would love to help at least twenty families nationwide with a monthly stipend for one year. With your help and participation, SBSNE, Inc. will have the opportunity to provide families with stipends to go towards their child's nutrition (whether it be organic foods, tube feed, vitamins, electrolyte solutions, etc.). This stipend will be in the form of a gift card, which we hope to offer on a monthly basis. 

The Short Bowel Syndrome Foundation for Children of New England, Inc. (SBSNE, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization which was created to provide family support for children afflicted with gastrointestinal conditions, birth defects, and diseases which resulted in Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) and their healthcare providers. SBSNE, Inc. has been created to promote awareness, provide parent-to-parent, financial, and educational support for families who have children who have been diagnosed with Short Bowel Syndrome, as well as providing at least 10% of all monies brought in to various researchers who are investigating the birth defects leading to and causes of Short Bowel Syndrome. 

Roger Williams Park is located minutes away from Route 95 and Route 10, and is located just minutes away from Route 95 & Route 10. This event will be held rain or shine, hopefully shine! This is a family friendly event. Registration and start of race will be held at Carousel Village in the park. Registration fee of $25.00 includes race day water bottle! Children 10 and under are $15.00 including t-shirt. We will be beginning the 5K at the beautiful Carousel Village, then go through scenic Roger Williams Park ending back at Carousel Village.

SBSNE, Inc. appreciates your continued support and look forward to seeing you there!
