Third Annual Finish Lyme 5K

Southern Tier Lyme Support is proud to say that the third annual Finish Lyme 5K was a huge success.  We want to thank everyone that helped with event organization, and the many individuals who walked and ran in honor of this cause.   The Race to Finish Lyme 5K Walk and Run was held on  August 26, 2023 at Otsiningo Park, in Binghamton NY. The proceeds will support medical scholarships, pay for medical bills for those afflicted with Lyme and for the continued fight against Lyme. It was a great turn out, and we couldn’t have done it without those who participated, donated, and partook. Thank You!

“Community involvement is why Home for the Holidays is such a longstanding success. Over 12,000 people attend each year! Home for the Holidays will take place November 16 – January 5.”
