Bundle Up Against Cancer Virtual 5K Run/Walk 2024

Short review

The Gateway Regional family lost one of its most special members when Cheryl Baldosaro passed away from cancer in October 2020. In honor of her memory, we are holding a 5k virtual run/walk to warm up our bodies because Cheryl absolutely hated being cold. Proceeds from this event will be split between the Baldosaro family and starting a scholarship in honor of Cheryl's memory to be awarded yearly to a Gateway senior.

GROUPS/TEAMS:

Perfect timing for spring sports preseason! The group with the largest number of members will get their name printed on the back of the shirts with the rest of the race's sponsors.

WHY VIRTUAL?
With the ongoing pandemic, virtual is the safest way to hold a 5k because it makes social distancing easy.

ABOUT CHERYL: Cheryl Baldosaro was a beloved member of Gateway Regional's faculty. She passed away in October at 52 and her absence has deeply affected the Gateway community. Cheryl was a special education teacher and spent most of her time teaching Academic Skills, working tirelessly with struggling students to help them with their classes. She was known to bring in snacks for her students and magic cookie bars for her colleagues. She also enjoyed beaming with pride when she talked about her children, Jessi and Alex, as well as her husband of 29 years, Anthony. Cheryl was almost always cold and wore layers of shirts, sweaters and turtlenecks, hence the theme of the 5k! Everyone that knew her loved her and appreciated her. Cheryl was kind, friendly and approachable, and her friends were lucky to know her.
