Write a commentOswego Industries Inc., a Fulton-based nonprofit agency that supports adults with developmental disabilities, will be hosting an Irish kick-off on St. Patrick’s Day for the inaugural OI Inclusive 5k.
Join us on March 17 from 4:30 to 6:30PM at the Brass Lantern Bar & Grill in Fulton to support Oswego Industries. Sign up for the 5k, drink green beer and enjoy OI-themed menu items, and participate in a 50/50 and other raffles… all for a good cause!
The event is to support the OI Inclusive 5k, a fun new road race celebrating people of all abilities. The race is scheduled for 10AM on March 28 at Oswego Industries in Fulton. Runners of all ages, levels, and abilities are encouraged to participate.
Proceeds from both the kick-off event and the race will support Oswego Industries in its mission to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities through providing person-centered supports and programs.
