This year, the Smithfield YMCA is incredibly proud to be part of this inspiring program, created in honor of Chase Kowalski, who lost his life in the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy.

Race4Chase is about so much more than teaching children how to swim, bike, and run. It instills compassion and resilience, and it helps kids understand what it truly means to be a hero.

We are deeply honored to carry on Chase’s legacy and celebrate his beautiful life through this program.

Registration information will be coming soon—stay tuned!
