Run (or walk) to help 21 local charities

For 39 years, we’ve hosted the Bigelow Tea Community Challenge Run/Walk to help ensure 21 local charities can 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. Since its inception, the BTCC has provided more than $2.9 million dollars to local charities in Connecticut.

39TH ANNUAL BIGELOW TEA COMMMUNITY CHALLENGE HAS BEEN CANCELLED
