The Bigelow Community Challenge

Run (or walk) to help 23 local charities

For 37 years, we’ve hosted the Bigelow Tea Community Challenge Run/Walk to help ensure 23 local charities can deliver important programs that provide educational services, food, housing, safe places, crisis counseling, and after-school tutoring and recreational programs to the most vulnerable populations within our community. Since its inception, the BTCC has provided more than $2.5 million dollars to local charities in Connecticut.
