This year's 5K is dedicated to the memory of loved ones who lost their lives in personal battles, struggles and illness: William Bruno, Jake Bukowiec, John Bukowiec, Jr., Jared Crippen, Kevin Glass, Brian McDonough, Bubba O'Reilly, Walter Reitsma, Bill Whittaker, as well as the CONTACT volunteers who we've lost but never forgotten.
Established in 1975, CONTACT is a volunteer based 24-hour crisis intervention and listening telephone service offering free confidential crisis intervention, information on available resources and referrals to community services. "Our call volume began with 8,000 calls in our first year and now averages around 26,000 calls annually," stated Kim Santora, Executive Director of CONTACT. "CONTACT volunteers go through an extensive training period where they develop active and empathetic listening skills to help callers determine their own feelings, identify their options, and find their own strengths to resolve their problems. When appropriate, volunteers do make referrals to other community services that are available to the caller."
