NPC 5K Committee seeks volunteers, meets 6:30 pm July 16

The National Press Club Beat the Deadline 5K Committee is looking for volunteers to help on race day, which will take place on Saturday, Sept. 7.

All volunteers will receive a commemorative t-shirt and entrance to the post-race pancake breakfast.

The 5K Committee will meet at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 16. All Club members are invited to attend. It's a great way to meet other members and have a hand in raising funds for our organization.

This year's honorary race co-marshals are Tony Horton, of P90X fame, and local NBC4 reporter Erika Gonzalez.

Race proceeds benefit the National Press Club Journalism Institute and its ongoing mission to the future of journalism. Since 2000, more than $700,000 has been awarded to deserving students to attend college and pursue a career in journalism.
