The Harris Jacobs Dream Run was created nearly 25 years ago to serve our community with a fun, active, and family-friendly event that honors the memory of a past president of the MJCCA, Harris Jacobs. Proceeds support programming for the MJCCA’s Blonder Family Department for Special Needs, a unique and welcoming home where individuals of all backgrounds and abilities can socialize, learn, grow, and deepen their connections to one another and the community. Runners and walkers of all experience levels are encouraged to bring friends, family members, and coworkers to enjoy the 24th Annual HJDR.
On Sunday, May 7, 2017, at 8:00 am, the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA) is proud to present the 24th Annual Harris Jacobs Dream Run (HJDR), beginning and ending at the MJCCA’s Zaban Park campus (5342 Tilly Mill Road, Dunwoody, 30338).
