The annual Woodhouse 5K for New Day offers a powerful opportunity to run and walk for a cause that makes an immediate, local impact. The money is raised to directly provide financial and emotional support to local families facing cancer. By getting involved, supporters can receive sponsorship opportunities for the race, volunteer throughout the route, or build a team to honor a special cancer warrior.
 
On Saturday, July 25 at 8:00 a.m., enjoy a morning of fun and fitness beginning and ending at Rochester Municipal Park, 400 6^th St., and throughout the streets of downtown Rochester. Whether you are an experienced runner or walking, the Woodhouse 5K for New Day is a family-fun event that benefits Michigan families facing cancer through New Day Foundation for Families.  
 
Registration to participate in the Woodhouse 5K is $45 per person and free to children ages 5 and under.  Other ways to support this event are a personalized cancer warrior and memorial sign along the route of the course, sponsorship plugs, donations and forming a team. Some of our sponsors include Gold Sponsor David W. Elliot Memorial Foundation along with Silver Sponsors MSUFCU, Wakefield Law, and others.

Proceeds will benefit New Day Foundation, a Rochester Hills-based cancer support organization that provides financial and emotional resources to Michigan families facing cancer. New Day pays critical living expenses for families, such as housing, food and groceries, transportation, utilities, and more. New Day also offers professional counseling to help patients overcome barriers to treatment.
 
“For families who work hard to make ends meet, and suddenly find themselves facing a cancer diagnosis, unable to work, and struggling to pay for basic living expenses — we see you,” said New Day Co-founder and President Gina Kell Spehn. “We’re grateful to Woodhouse Spa for partnering with us each year to help cancer patients live without unnecessary stress and stay focused on what matters most — treatment and healing.”
 
“The Woodhouse 5K for New Day is a wonderful collaboration between the community and the Woodhouse Day Spa. It is an incredible opportunity for everyone to come together for a day of fitness and fun that provides help to local families facing cancer,” said Dana Martin of Woodhouse Spa.
