Union Straw is proud to cheer on our Director of Operations as they take on the Falmouth Road Race to raise funds for ConfiKids, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to giving children of limited financial means the chance to explore their passions and build confidence through enrichment activities. Founded by Rachel Calabrese, ConfiKids provides scholarships for programs like dance, sports, and other extracurriculars, ensuring that financial constraints don’t prevent kids in grades 1 through 8 from discovering new skills, forming friendships, and developing self-assurance. By supporting this race, we’re helping give every child the opportunity to flourish and experience the joy of learning and growing in a safe, encouraging environment.
Falmouth Road Race, Inc. is committed to supporting and promoting local organizations with specific focus on youth athletics and programming that promotes health and wellness. These efforts are realized by consistent community involvement and ongoing philanthropic endeavors including donations, scholarships, grants, and sponsorships. Its annual, internationally recognized 7-mile road race features an iconic seaside course enjoyed by elite and recreational runners since 1973.
