Citizens Pell Bridge Run 2022

As a beneficiary of the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Foundation, we are excited to be participating in the Citizens Pell Bridge Run | 2022! 100% of all net proceeds from The Citizens Pell Bridge go to local non-profits like the Women’s Resource Center.

The eleventh annual Citizens Pell Bridge Run will be held on Sunday, October 16, 2022 at 7:15 AM. Starting in Jamestown and finishing in downtown Newport, this point-to-point event is open to runners and walkers of all ages and speeds! The 4-mile road race and walk is the only day of the year pedestrians are permitted to cross the famous Newport Pell Bridge. Gather your friends and family for a day of fun, fitness and stunning views!

REGISTRATION:

Register as an individual or join the Women’s Resource Center team! Register early for the best pricing and shuttle assignments!

FUNDRAISING:

We are asking our supporters to rally their friends, family, and networks to support our work. By becoming a fundraiser for Women’s Resource Center, you will help more families impacted by domestic violence in our community, and you’ll help your friends feel good about doing good.

Starting a fundraiser is easy to do, and it’s fun. We’ll even give you all the tools you’ll need to make a difference. With your help we can sustain our advocacy, education and support services for survivors.

August News & Updates

Dear Friends,

Am I the only one wondering where the summer went? I can’t believe we are only a week away from Labor Day weekend. Cookouts, beach days, parties, summer camp, vacations– the calendar just seems to fill up and before you know it, September is here. I hope you all have found moments of calm to enjoy the weather among the hustle and bustle that is summer in Rhode Island.

There is so much good stuff in the newsletter this month, I will leave you to it. Enjoy the last few days of summer and thank you as always for your continued support.

In Solidarity, 
Jessica Walsh

July News & Updates

Dear Friends, 

Well, the summer heat has officially found us! I hope you all are finding ways to enjoy summer while also staying cool. My daughter and I have been spending our weekend time kayaking, gathering in the yard with friends, and on the hottest of days, building living room forts and reading our favorite summer chapter books aloud. I’ve also been enjoying reconnecting with many of our supporters in person this summer. Whether meeting folks at the All Charity Polo Match or grabbing a coffee with long time champions of the WRC, it has been nice to meet and connect over a shared passion for the critical work of the organization. I always learn something new in these conversations– about our past, or an idea for the future– and am reminded of how many people are supporting this work, every day. We have a lot of fun stuff to share this month, so enjoy, and stay cool. 

In Solidarity,
Jessica Walsh
