Article

The revitalized Long Branch beachfront will be the site of the 7th Annual CPC Pier House 5K road race on Labor Day Monday, September 6th. Racetime is 8:30 am. One goal of the race is to bring runners to Long Branch to witness first hand the amazing growth in that area. We expect over 1,000 participants to lace up their shoes for the event.

"The Pier House believes deeply in strong community relationships and this is just one indication of that", said co-race founder Tim McLoone, whose restaurant was one of the first projects opened in Pier Village. Proceeds of the race will be donated to the CPC Behavioral Healthcare.

Hunger Action Month, formed to help those in need, bloomed from a day of service into a month-long campaign as the economy has taken a turn for the worse and the demand for food assistance has increased. Through collaboration between Feeding America's national office, their network of 205 food banks , corporate sponsors and engagement of celebrities, Feeding America aims to raise awareness this September to help the 36 million Americans who struggle with hunger through the universal message "Give a Little, Feed a Lot."
