The Glen Rock Jaycees are a service organization that has been actively involved in the Glen Rock community for decades. We provide support to many organizations and charities in town as well as the surrounding community, such as various Youth Sports Organizations, Volunteer Fire Department and Ambulance Corps, Glen Rock Public Library, VFW & Teaneck Food Pantry which supports the local families of our troops abroad. We award the largest scholarship in Glen Rock to a deserving high school graduate every year. We also host many children’s events in Glen Rock throughout the year, such as the Easter Egg Hunt, Family Fun Night & Campout, and Santa’s Train Ride. The Arboretum Run is one of our primary fundraisers. Members of the Glen Rock Jaycees are Glen Rock dads who get together on a monthly basis for some camaraderie and to plan the events mentioned above all of which are such a big part of what make Glen Rock a great place to live. We would like to encourage all families in Glen Rock and the surrounding area to join us at the 24th Annual Glen Rock Jaycees Labor Day Arboretum Run on Sept 5. This event has something for everyone. At 8:30 we kick off with the 5K run which is challenging enough for the serious runner but very achievable for even the novice runner. This race is chip-timed by CompuScore and your race results will be enshrined on the web for all to see. At 9:30 we have the Junior Mile which is a great challenge for young aspiring runners who want to test their speed and endurance. Then at 9:45 we have the Toddler Fun Runs for the little ones. All kids get a medal, and for the top Glen Rock finishers in the 5K race we have a very unique award every year. The cost for the 5K race is $25 and the cost for the Junior Mile is $10. All race participants receive a t-shirt. ALL race proceeds go towards supporting those organizations mentioned above and many others. The Glen Rock Jaycees is a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization.
