The Donna Foundation said on Friday that it has the permit for the annual Mother’s Day 5K event set for May 13, 2023. The city had asked the event to be delayed because Donna Deegan is running for mayor.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
– The Donna Foundation announced on Friday that it has gotten the permit for the annual Mother’s Day 5K event. Amanda Napolitano, the executive director for the Donna Foundation sent out this statement, “We are happy to share that the City of Jacksonville has approved The DONNA Foundation’s conditional permit authorizing plans to continue for theevent set for May 13, 2023. We are encouraged that the matter was resolved quickly, and we can focus on preparing for a survivorship celebration worthy of the breast cancer patients, survivors and every mom we serve.
The city of Jacksonville had asked that the foundation find a different date for its race this year, one that is after the May election. City officials said that with Donna Deegan, the founder and namesake of the Donna Foundation charity, currently running for mayor of Jacksonville, it would not be appropriate for the foundation’s 5K race to take place while early voting is underway and the May election is just days away on May 16.Copyright 2023 by WJXT News4JAX - All rights reserved.
