Community Challenge

The 34^th Annual Bigelow Tea Community Challenge will take place on Sunday morning, September 26, 2021 at Wakeman Boys & Girls Club, Southport CT. The 5k Road Race and 3k Fitness Walk through scenic Southport Harbor & Historic District and Kids’ Fun Run are always a community favorite. We will also be offering our Virtual 5k Run again this year for those who are not local but wish to participate
 
Last year our event went fully virtual, but it is our sincere hope that this year we will be able to be together once again. As always, our focus remains on providing a safe and fun environment for our participants.
 
In addition to being fun for the whole family, the BTCC has become a major source of support to local non-profit organizations that find it increasingly difficult to compete with the more prominent national charities for significantly needed dollars. Since it’s inception, the BTCC has provided more than $2 million dollars to local charities in Connecticut.
 
By participating, you help ensure that 23 local charities can continue to deliver important programs that provide educational services, food, housing, safe places, crisis counseling, and after-school tutoring and recreational programs to the most vulnerable populations within our community. We are grateful for your partnership in supporting these non-profits over the past 34 years.
 
With heartfelt thanks for your continuing support.
