Team Eversight represents at Long Branch 5K

May 27, 2022 — The weather was perfect for the Celebration of Life 5K in Long Branch, N.J. on May 15. Event host and Eversight partner New Jersey Sharing Network provided nourishment and hydration all day long to support the many participants who gathered on the Great Lawn at the Ocean Promenade.

Team Eversight connected with participants in the Sponsor Village in addition to having runners and walkers on the route. Team Eversight reflected on the lives and impact of the donors we were honoring, and supported the 5K teams their families had created in their memory. It was a beautiful, quiet moment during an otherwise bustling and exciting event.

Team Eversight included three runners and seven walkers, plus a bouncing baby girl. Vice President of Philanthropy Teresa Clark and President/CEO Diane Hollingsworth traveled from Michigan to New Jersey to join in the fun.

Special congratulations to two of three Team Eversight runners who placed in the timed results. The walking cohort enjoyed a beautiful view of the ocean as the morning fog lifted. An enormous crowd of spectators fueled runners with fun music, homemade signs, pompons cheers and more. It truly was a beautiful celebration of life!

Thanks to our valued partnership with NJ Sharing Network and the Sharing Network Foundation, all funds raised by our Team will support Eversight’s mission to restore sight and prevent blindness through the healing power of donation, transplantation and research.
