9/11 5k Memorial Run/Walk and Family Day - April 21, 2013
On Sunday, April 21, 2013, we will welcome people of all ages to lower Manhattan for the first 9/11 Memorial 5K Run/Walk and Family Day.
The 5K Run/Walk, starting at Hudson River Park’s Pier 57 and finishing near the 9/11 Memorial, will take participants on a historic route that will pass important places in the story of 9/11. The route will symbolize how we came together to support one another in the aftermath of 9/11.
It is easy to participate:
1. Register at www.911memorial.org/5k.
2. Create a fundraising page or fundraising team.
3. Spread the Word. Tell your friends and family about the 9/11 Memorial 5k Run/Walk & Family Day through Facebook, Twitter, and Google +.
All funds raised through your participation in the 9/11 Memorial 5K Run/Walk and Family Day will directly support the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.
Family Day will be held on Vesey Street between Broadway and Church Street, near the 9/11 Memorial Preview Site, on April 21, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The event will include activities for all ages and food and refreshments. It will also offer information about the 9/11 Memorial as well as ways to learn more about volunteer opportunities in the spirit of the National 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance.
The date of the 9/11 Memorial Run/Walk and Family Day has significant meaning. April 21 marks the anniversary of the date President Barack Obama signed into law a bill that designates September 11th as a National Day of Service and Remembrance in honor of those who perished in the 9/11 attacks. The 9/11 Memorial 5K Run/Walk and Family Day will support the 9/11 Memorial and encourage volunteer service in honor of those lost on 9/11.
If you can’t participate on April 21, you can still get involved through fundraising efforts and volunteer opportunities. Please visit 911memorial.org/5k to learn more.

Tenants Fight for Affordable Rents at IPN
As our readers know, the J-51 litigation, which we hoped would lower rents for many residents is over and the landlord has prevailed. Long term tenants (pre- July 2004) are still protected by the agreement negotiated between the landlord and the tenants association in March 2004. And the fight to protect and preserve affordable housing continues. But the courts have ended this particular fight to keep IPN rent regulated. Download full story
