Little Sisters of the Poor Nun Run 5K

Since August 30, 2018, the Little Sisters of the Poor have been celebrating a jubilee year marking the 150th anniversary of the community’s arrival in the United States.  From Jeanne Jugan’s humble heart flowed a great wave of charity that eventually spread all over the world.  This wave reached America on September 13, 1868, when seven Little Sisters arrived in Brooklyn, New York after a long ocean voyage to establish the community’s first home in America.

We hope you can help celebrate this special occasion by joining us for the 15th Annual Nun Run. The event will take place on Saturday, September 11th at the Jeanne Jugan Residence, located in Newark, DE. 

This year's goal is to raise $50,000 and we need your help! Please support by registering and/or making a monetary donation. Proceeds from the event will go directly towards the ongoing care and needs of the elderly Residents at Jeanne Jugan Residence.
As partners in caring, we value your participation and we hope you will support our mission. We look forward to seeing you on September 11th!
