Moscuzza Debates "Great Race" Proceeds

Committee Candidates says PTO are worthy beneficiaries

Democrat for Middletown Township Committee Janet Moscuzza recently said proceeds from the township's "Great Race" should be awarded to the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO).

"I had heard some mention that the proceeds from this race would be going to the schools," she said, "but I suggested that it should go to the PTO because it is much more difficult for them to raise funds."

Moscuzza said the race is comprised of a competitive 5K race in addition to a 1K race and 2K walk/run. The event moves through flat residential areas and is staffed with professional timing and finish line management.

Moscuzza, who is a retired educator with over 30 years of experience working in various school systems, said she has been involved with two separate parent-teacher organizations in the past. According to her, both groups found that it was not easy to come up the funds deemed necessary to host various events throughout the school year.

"Fundraising was always a great deal of work because of the limited volunteers," she said. "It would be just be a very kind gesture if the proceeds of 'The Great Race' could go to a cause that it just as worthy as any other."

This year's race will be held on Saturday, October 20 beginning at 12 p.m. at Middletown High School South on Nut Swamp Road. Cash awards will additionally be awarded to the top male and female finishers.
