CAC’s Summer Safety 5k & Community Event

Following the 5k, the CAC and the city of Fulton Parks & Recreation will be hosting a FREE Summer Safety Community Event at the Fulton War Memorial from 11am to 3pm complete with a bike rodeo, child car seat check, bounce houses, resources and information from our community partners, and much, much more!!! Several food trucks will also be on-hand throughout the day to purchase your favorite snacks.

CAC’s Deputy Director, Carol Gazitano stated, “Together, with input and coordination from the members of our Community Action Team, we decided to hold our 5k on the first official weekend of summer and incorporate a fun, and free, community event that focuses on summer safety.  As part of our ongoing efforts to engage with, and provide resources for the community, we decided to co-sponsor this event with the city of Fulton Parks and Recreation to help raise awareness of some of the hazards typically encountered during the summer months along with information and activities designed to help keep our children safe all year long!”

Gazitano continued, “The 5k and Community Event will be held rain or shine on June 22nd with many of the activities for the community event being held right inside the War Memorial’s ice rink area. Registration for the 5k Run/Walk, along with sponsor information can be found in the events section of the Child Advocacy Center’s website: oswegocac.org.”
