Purchase, N.Y. (PRWEB) May 13, 2015 -- The 2nd annual Corporate FunRun Westchester 5k will take place on Thursday evening, July 16, at SUNY Purchase.

“The Corporate FunRun truly is the summer’s best office party,” said Bruce Pienkny, president of Corporate FunRun. “We’re thrilled to bring this event back to Westchester for a second year, and look forward to a special evening of team building, fundraising, and fitness.”
