Save the date for the Alex Wake Run
Alexandra Wake ’05, a gentle, talented 14 year old student was murdered in a horrific act of domestic violence that took not only Alex’s life, but that of her mother and grandparents on Jan. 15, 2002.

Alex was an exceptional student whose dynamic personality and motivation to excel propelled her to the apex of achievement at Baldwin. Her contributions to our community as a scholar, athlete and friend were tremendous. She was the epitome of a hard-working, intellectual Baldwin Girl. Alex was a member of the cross country and track teams at Baldwin. For this reason we have chosen running as a medium to celebrate her life.

Monies raised will go towards the perpetual scholarship that bears her name. The event not only raises money for financial aid, but also awareness of domestic violence in our community of learners.

The event is a road race that will begin and end on Baldwin’s campus; a 1 mile walking course is also available this year. The roads on the route will be closed to traffic and monitored by the Lower Merion Police Department, insuring the safety of our participants.

Registration will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning at the Athletic Facility and the race will start at 9 a.m. You may pre-register online at www.runtheday.com or the day of the race.  T-shirt sponsorships are available through Friday, April 9.  We hope you will consider this special opportunity.  Information is available in the download section of the website. Other event information is also available on the Baldwin website and Facebook fan page (www.facebook.com/baldwinschool).

Please contact Sue Houser Winant ’78 at swinant@baldwinschool.org or 610 525 2700, ext 245. for sponsorship opportunities and questions.  Sponsorship information and forms also are available on the My Baldwin page. Thank you!  Smile For Alex!
