BUFFALO, NY - The National Federation for Just Communities of WNY (NFJC) held their annual Dash Sunday.
The Dash for Diversity is a relay race, walk, and kids fun dash, meant to highlight and celebrate WNY's diverse community.
And this year, High School and Middle School students competed for a chance at a very special prize;
Whichever school had the largest presence Sunday, wins a pep rally from Kiss 98-5.
"We want to bring people together. the idea is that we want people to meet others. have a chance to see that we have more in common than we have differences," said Rene Petties-Jones, Community Engagement Development Director, NFJC.
The event also included live music, games and prizes, food, and more.
Proceeds go to programming at the National federation for just communities.
2 On Your Side's Meteorologist Jennifer Stanonis was the emcee for the event.
