Asha For Education Princeton Walk/Run 2025

ABOUT THE EVENT:

Asha For Education Princeton is gearing up for an ⚡electrifying twist⚡ on the classic In-person/Virtual
Walk/Run event!

In the past, we pioneered the virtual run concept and are thrilled to continue the trend.

However, your physical presence makes all the difference. Picture this: a vibrant gathering at the tranquil North Brunswick Community Park. For those preferring a more secluded experience, join us virtually from your own neighborhood or anywhere worldwide! And hey, why not have the best of both worlds? Register now to take part in-person and virtually, if you’re up for the adventure!

Get ready for a post-race treat with light refreshments at the finish line of our in-person event!

Spread the excitement and rally more supporters to join us. We highly recommend pre-
registering using the links below for a seamless experience. Plus, every penny goes towards
supporting Asha for Education, Princeton Chapter!

Asha for Education is a volunteer-powered, non-profit organization that operates without a
hierarchy. We firmly believe in the transformative power of education for socio-economic change. Since our inception in 1991, we have raised over $22 million and supported more than 800 projects, positively impacting thousands of underprivileged children in India.
