Celebrating 65 Years: Cardinal Stritch 5K & Kids Fun Run

The purpose of the “Celebrating 65 Years: Cardinal Stritch 5K & Kids Fun Run” is to bring the Cardinal Stritch community together to invest in the future of student athletics, school pride, and Catholic education. This race is more than a fundraiser. It is a community-driven effort to improve athletic facilities for current and future students. Funds raised through sponsorships and participation will help address major facility needs, including the lack of a football field, softball field, and modern track facilities. The event was created with the vision of becoming an annual tradition that strengthens Cardinal Stritch’s identity, supports student athletes, and helps retain students who may otherwise leave for schools with stronger athletic programs. By improving facilities, Cardinal Stritch hopes to create more opportunities for students to grow in athletics, leadership, faith, and community involvement. At its core, the race celebrates 65 years of Cardinal Stritch while building momentum for the next generation. It reflects the school’s commitment to faith, community, excellence, and long-term investment in its students.
