The Third Annual Chappy Point to Point, a five mile road race from the waters of Wasque Point to the ferry at Chappy Point, will be held on Sunday, August 29, at 8:30 am. Although the race is now sold out with 250 runners, it’s not too late to contribute.
The beneficiary of this year’s race is the Cultural, Historical, and Educational Program of the Chappaquiddick Tribe of the Wampanoag Nation. The net proceeds from the race will be used to construct a traditional Wampanoag dwelling known as a “wetu” at Wasque. Individual/family sponsorships are a minimum of $100. To achieve our fundraising goals, we are hoping to find at least 10 individuals/families to contribute $1000 each and at least 20 to contribute $500 each. Contributions can be made by clicking https://runsignup.com/Race/Donate/MA/Edgartown/ChappyPoint2Point or sending a check to: Martha's Vineyard Community Foundation P.O. Box 243 West Tisbury, MA 02575 (Please add Chappy Point to Point in the memo line.)
