🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

The Office of the Hudson County Executive invites you to: Save the Date for the 4th Annual Strides for Safety 5K Against Gun Violence!

👮‍♂️ About the Initiative

Hudson County Executive Craig Guy served as a member of the Jersey City Police Department, seeing firsthand the awful impact of gun violence on our community. This initiative is near and dear to his heart, as Craig spent two decades working on a range of philanthropic events for the County before taking elected office.

":Putting an end to gun violence is a community effort, and we must work hand in hand to put an end to these senseless tragedies,": said County Executive Guy. ":Through partnerships and advocacy from parents, supporters, young people, religious leaders, and law enforcement, we can build and support a County in which all residents can thrive and succeed, free from the fear of gun violence.":
