5K for 5K - Fordham S&D for POTS

Please help us support Part Of The Solution in the Bronx!

The COVID-19 pandemic has turned many of our lives upside-down these past few months. Many job losses and furloughs have exacerbated any instabilities in people's lives already such as food or housing instability. 

The Bronx has been hit especially hard by COVID-19 and is one of the most impacted communities in the nation. Part Of The Solution (POTS) is a local non-profit located on Webster Ave. right next to Fordham University. POTS strives to be a loving community in the Bronx that nourishes the basic needs and hunger of all who enter their doors. POTS not only helps provide food to the food insecure but also provides many other services such as employment coaching, mentoring, and a secure mailing address. Their overarching goal is to help people move towards self-sufficiency through their services.

To support the POTS and the Bronx community during this desperate time, the Fordham University Swimming and Diving Team is coming together to run a virtual 5K on July 11. Despite being scattered throughout the country, we are all coming together to support the community that Fordham calls home--and we need your help!

So we can better help the residents of the city we call home at Fordham, please consider donating to aid POTS’ COVID-19 Emergency Response during this time of need if you are willing and able. Whether it be twenty dollars or two, any amount will go a long way towards helping others and reaching our goal of $5,000. If you are not able to donate at this time but still want to help, please consider sharing the link to the fundraiser with friends, family, or on social media. Anything you can do helps! Thank you!!
