About the Event

Run For Waterside has raised more than $2.5 million for student scholarships!

Waterside School is an independent Junior Kindergarten through fifth grade school serving children and their families regardless of family income or circumstance. 100% of students receive need-based scholarships.

Run for Waterside is held in the loving memory of Jeffrey Hammond Long. Jeff was selfless, community-oriented and beloved. His life was defined by a simple conviction: it's cool to be nice. The Run continues each year in celebration of his spirit.

For sponsorship opportunities, please contact Jamel Keels, Director of Advancement, at jkeels@watersideschool.org.
