Elizabeth, resident of Scotch Plains, is a dedicated volunteer of NJ Sharing Network and captain of Donation Nation, one of the teams participating in this year’s 5K Celebration of Life in New Providence.
NJ Sharing Network’s Annual 5K Celebration of Life Walk/Run will be take place Sunday, June 5, at NJ Sharing Network headquarters, 691 Central Avenue in New Providence, NJ and is a USATF Certified Race.
