Thanks to all who participated in and sponsored the 40th Annual 5k Run and Walk on October 22, 2011!!
Welcome to Amherst A Better Chance, in Amherst, Massachusetts. ABC is a national residential high school program that prepares academically talented and highly motivated African American, Latino, Asian, and Native American students from educationally underserved school districts for college and future leadership roles in the broader community. Since the Amherst program began, over 120 ABC scholars have graduated from ARHS, and they have attended more than 50 colleges and universities. Scholars live family-style with the RDs in a warm supportive environment enriched by daily sessions with Amherst College tutors. ABC board members, community mentors and ARHS faculty and staff also offer guidance and support. ABC scholars forge lasting bonds with local host families through monthly weekend visits and additional enrichment activities. Please help to support our program and make a donation today!
Our 40th annual 5k Run and Walk proved to be huge success! This year we had an official 5k run through the center of Amherst and through Amherst College, and the Norwattuk Rail Trail. The Walk and 5k run is all about community, with family, friends, and neighbors participating. Not only is the Fall Foliage Walk and 5k Run our largest fundraiser, but it has become an Amherst tradition. Here is an interview with Talib Sadiq and John Sieracki regarding the Walk event!
