Join the Niagara Pride & Wellness 5K – Support LGBTQ+ Youth in Our Community!
SUNY Niagara is proud to host the 2025 Niagara Pride & Wellness 5K Fun Run/Walk on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 9 am to 2 pm with the 5K starting at 10 am right from our campus at 3111 Saunders Settlement Rd, Sanborn, NY.
This isn’t just a 5K – it’s a chance to run, walk, strut, or sashay your way across the finish line while supporting a vital cause. Niagara Pride is working to raise $30,000 to launch the first-ever LGBTQ+ Youth Drop-In Program in Niagara County. This safe and affirming space will help combat the challenges LGBTQ+ youth face – including elevated risks of depression, anxiety, substance use, and bullying.
Did you know?
- LGBTQ+ youth are more likely to experience mental health challenges than their straight peers.
- A 2019 Trevor Project study found that every 45 seconds, an LGBTQ+ youth between the ages of 13–21 attempts suicide.
To show our appreciation, SUNY Niagara employees and students who register for the 5K will receive a SUNY Niagara cooling headband!
✅ Pick yours up in the Human Resources office in A-261 the week of May 5th.
✅ We encourage everyone to wear their headbands during the event – not only will it help you stay cool, but it will also help identify fellow SUNY Niagara participants and show our united support as a campus community.
🌭 5K T-shirt and Food included with registration – hot dog, chips, and soda/water!
Let’s show up and show our support!
