Crusaders United Color Run

Event Overview

The Tyburn Academy Crusaders will hold their 2nd Annual Crusaders United Color Run to support the United Way of Cayuga County and Tyburn Academy. Tyburn Academy, a small private Catholic School in Auburn, N.Y., fosters a community rich in the Gospel spirit of service and charity. As such, the students have chosen this fundraiser elevating the standard to justly serve their school and the community it is housed within.

Purpose

Half of the proceeds from this event will support the mission at Tyburn Academy while the other half are designated to the United Way of Cayuga County to support two funding Pillars:

• Financial Stability: Focus on ensuring Cayuga County residents have the tools to thrive in the workplace.
• Community Resilience: Address urgent needs like food, clothing, and shelter for neighbors.
• Emergency Assistance: Provide support for those impacted by flooding and fire damage.
• Service Programs: Implement virtual training and increase transportation for seniors and disabled neighbors.
