About the event
SANGAMAM 2023
5K Run & 2K Family Fun with Water Gun Run or Walk
MCTS (McLean County Tamil Sangam,/Association a not-for-profit organization) is first time organizing this event, Sangamam, on July 22nd, 2023, Saturday at 8:00 AM.
The Word "Sangamam" ("சங்கமம்") in the Tamil Language means, Confluence or assembly or junction or in simple terms, Join together in one place. Tamil is one of the oldest and most classical languages in the world.
The primary purpose of this event is to bring the entire community together and show our Indian community presence and our support by giving back to the community where we live. As part of this, part of the proceeds from the profit that we receive through the registration will be donated to local non-profits that have local programs to Overcome Poverty and/or provide food supplies for the needy. We also intend to donate Tamil Language literature books to Bloomington Public Library.
