Story
Newport County YMCA participates in the Citizens Pell Bridge Run each year by providing volunteers for the day of the race and has also been a grateful beneficiary of the generous post-race grant funding from the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Foundation. However, this year community members JUST LIKE YOU decided that they could do even more! Here is YOUR opportunity to support one of these amazing runners on their journey to raise funds for inclusion programming at NCYMCA, keeping our programs open to ALL - regardless of ability to pay. YOU can help these runners cross the finish line!
