Help Raise Money for The Valerie Fund with Rook Coffee

Rook Coffee is hosting the 2nd annual Rook Run 5K to benefit The Valerie Fund Sunday October 11 at The Great Lawn in Long Branch. 

As Rook Coffee expands their brand and locations, they are also expanding their connection with the community. Rook Coffee has once again partnered with The Valerie Fund to present The 2nd Annual 5k Rook Run. The run is set to take place on Sunday, October 11th at 10 a.m. in the Great Lawn section of Long Branch Boardwalk. All proceeds will once again benefit The Valerie Fund, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which provides care and support for children with cancer and blood disorders.

Registration is only $35.

As of this writing there are 1,815 registered runners and 147 teams. The goal is to raise $150,000 and they are well on their way.

Josh Ballard from Rook Coffee sat down with me to talk about the event and what to expect Sunday.
