Mayor’s Message: May 2024

By Mayor Max Conway 

I’m convinced that if you traveled the country, you wouldn’t find a community as tight-knit as Dunmore. If you were at the Dunmore Community Center on Saturday, April 20th, you’d see why.

For the past 10 years, the annual Jog for Jude event has brought many people together to raise awareness and funds for S.I.D.S. (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) research. The event honors Jude Zayac, who tragically passed away in July 2014.

Jog for Jude is a shining example of the Dunmore community rallying around one of our own and turning an unimaginable tragedy into an opportunity to inspire hope in all of us.

Jog for Jude slated to return on April 20th

Last year the Jog for Jude race was cancelled minutes before start time due to bad weather. While that was a crushing disappointment for founders and participants, this year’s event on April 20 marks a huge comeback, including a Race To a Million.

After ten years, the Jude Zayac Foundation is on pace to hit a million dollars in donations.

The Dunmore Service club recently raised 300 dollars by selling pink and blue bracelet to support the Jude Zayac Foundation. The annual Jog for Jude event will be held on April 20.
