2017 Nun Run on a warm day!
Join our “Friends of LSP Delaware” Facebook Group
The 13th Annual Knights of Columbus Nun Run 5K (it’s a walk too!) is being held 9am Saturday, 9/14/19. This 5K walk/race begins and ends on the grounds of Jeanne Jugan Residence in Newark, and the Little Sisters join us for the run and all the fun! This is a fundraiser and we seek your support. Last year, over 400 people came together to make our Nun Run a huge success!
Adaptive running chairs were provided by Fusion Inclusion to allow a couple Sisters and several residents participate in the race!
$60,000 Fundraising Goal
$40,000 proceeds in 2018 helped fund a new roof for the 80 elderly Residents. Thank you so much!
News Journal 4/21/17 videos of our 5 star facility
We thank all who participated in 2017! You helped us raise $40,000 to help fund replacement of adjustable beds in our intermediate care units, right here in Newark.
The majority of beds were over 15 years old and the outdated equipment did not allow easy caregiver access. With the procurement of 40 new beds, we are better equipped to accommodate our elderly Residents sleeping needs!
