The goal of the West Akron 5k is to unite the community in a spirit of wellness and philanthropy while raising funds to benefit our students. With the support of United Baptist Church, The Akron NAACP, Summa Health, the Gus Johnson Community Foundation, CareSource, Akron Children’s Hospital, Stewart & Calhoun Funeral Home, this year’s race is on track to do just that with the help and support of our long-time sponsors.
