Why We Run...

Causeway Cars and Causeway CARes have been raising awareness and money for community issues in Ocean County since 1969. Issues like homelessness, food insecurity, education, senior and veteran’s needs, and many more. Since its inception in 2018, The Causeway 5k has raised more than $500,000 to help Ocean County residents improve the quality of their lives. All proceeds are donated to Ocean County non-profit organizations.
