Please Join us for our 2nd Annual PAAWR to Empower Walk & Run
The Pan-African Association is thrilled to announce our second annual 5k Run, which will take place on May 18.
This year's event includes some new and exciting additions-besides the 5k Run we will also have a Relay Fun Run and 2K Fun Walk. We've also included a community resource fair to provide information and networking opportunities from non-profits, mutual aid associations, educational institutions, and resettlement agencies. Bring the whole family to enjoy and participate in cross-cultural activities including sports, workshops, and performances. Kids 13 and under will be able to participate in their own sporting and cultural activities. We look forward to a day of fun, friendship, and action that brings together all the members of the Pan-African "family" (both new and old) to support and build our community.
Together we can make a difference!

Volunteer Focus - Charlotte Stroumza
If any organization wishes to achieve greatness then it must be comprised of great people who do great things. Over the years, Pan-African Association has been a magnate for such individuals who through their dedication, enthusiasm, and energy have helped PAA fulfill that most essential part of its mission-good service".
