Asha for Education NYC/NJ chapter is excited to host the Seventh Annual 5K Run/Walk to raise funds to educate underprivileged children in India. The 5K Run/Walk will take place on Saturday, April 17 at Riverside Park in New York city. Each year, participants young and old run or walk a 5 kilometer (3.1 miles) route and raise money through pledged donations. Prizes are given to the top fundraisers and fastest runners.


Since its inception in 2004, the 5K Run/Walk events have raised over $100,000 for Asha through individual donations, corporate sponsorships and other contributions. Nearly 250 runners took part in last year's 5K Run/Walk and raised over $11,000. This year, we welcome you to join us in participating in the 5K Run/Walk and begin fundraising for Asha's projects in India.


Asha for Education (Asha) is a 100% volunteer run, 501(3)(c), secular non-profit organization dedicated to change in India by focusing on basic education of children. Asha has been promoting educational initiatives since 1991 when it was started by a group of students at UC Berkeley and today, has grown into over 70 chapters across the globe. The New York City/New Jersey chapter of Asha, active since 1994, has raised over $1.5 million.


The Asha 5K Run/Walk is a great place to learn about our projects, to meet new people, to win great prizes and to get involved with a meaningful cause. So bring a friend, a co-worker or a family member to a great day of fun and join us in making education a gift that every child deserves.
