The first-ever 5K Any Way Fundraiser hosted by the Salus Orthotics and Prosthetics Association (SOPA) attracted 80 participants on the morning of Nov. 11, 2023, at Alverthorpe Park in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania.
The adaptive event could be completed however the participants preferred. The race path was completely paved and flat, making it suitable for anyone who chose to race on wheels.
SOPA’s main mission is educating the community through various outreach and adaptive events. The goal of this fundraiser was to raise money for Limb Kind Foundation, a global non-profit organization committed to providing prosthetics to children with limb loss free of cost. The event was free for all participants and SOPA sold T-shirts for the event to raise money.
