Kate Shea Foundation

Kate passed away from Leukemia at a young age of 25 years. The Bay Head 5K Memory Run was founded by loving friends and family of Kate Shea in order to give back to the community she called home most summers of her short but fulfilling life. Kate was an inspiration to us all in the way she lived her life in an accepting and open-minded way. The proceeds from the Bay Head 5K will go to the Kate Shea Foundation. 

…fighting Leukemia one step at a time

The mission of the Kate Shea Foundation is:

1. To provide funds in Kate’s memory to select Leukemia research organizations that help individuals affected by this disease.
2. To provide financial assistance to further the cultural and academic education of youths as they strive to understand and accept global diversity as a reality.
