We are asking for your help in making our 2023 Spartan Spirit 5K a huge success. The items required to put on this fundraising event are extensive and we are asking for your support in the form of a donation of goods and services, direct monetary support for a key sponsorship opportunity, and of course your participation in the race which will allow us to direct a portion of the registration fees to our special partner, Civica.
Civica is a nonprofit organization aiming to combat insulin-rationing through manufacture and distribution of affordable insulin that is available to everyone. Working in partnership with BlueCross BlueShield, JDRF, and others, Civica is anticipating that their first insulin will be available as soon as 2024.
Civica’s mission is of particular importance to Immaculata senior Molly Arkoulakis. A Marian Scholar and member of the Spartan cross country team, Molly has focused her AP Capstone project on raising awareness of the dangers of insulin-rationing and the critical need for the manufacture and distribution of affordable insulin to the millions of diabetics whose lives depend on it.
