Flash 5K to Benefit Local South Bay Charities Race Beneficiaries Include College of Adaptive Arts and the American Cancer Society
(Saratoga, Calif., August 23, 2023) On Saturday, September 9, Western Digital will host a 5K run/walk which will benefit the College of Adaptive Arts and the American Cancer Society.
The "Flash" 5K event will take place at 9am at Western Digital's Great Oaks San Jose Campus and will be offered both in person and virtually.
College of Adaptive Arts (CAA), a 501 c (3) non-profit organization, is a unique institution providing collegiate education to adults with differing abilities. It currently serves 224 students across 12+ states, the majority of whom have been diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including Down syndrome and autism.
"CAA's current one and only recurring state funding stream is now being out-paced by the overwhelming demand for these equitable collegiate services, so we rely heavily on fundraisers, grants, and individual donations to continue our mission of providing lifelong, higher education to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities," said DeAnna Pursai, co-founder and Executive Director of CAA.
The Flash 5K is free to enter, however donations are strongly encouraged.
"Western's Digital's deep belief in empowerment and resilience led us to select College of Adaptive Arts and the American Cancer Society as beneficiaries of the Flash 5K fun run/walk," said Rob Soderbery, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Flash Business Unit. "Together, we will continue striving for a world where every individual and every community can adapt, thrive, and conquer whatever challenges come their way."
