New year, same global event and same Mission to celebrate global cultures. We all have personal connections to the rich, diverse cultures in our community and on April 17th, I am running the 127th Boston Marathon to keep them thriving.

My 2022 Boston Marathon run raised nearly $50,000 and we are thrilled to award six $5,000 grants toward college education to our inaugural Regina A. Najarian Scholarship recipients. From across the United States, each winner beautifully expressed their stories and passion for their Armenian, Cape Verdean, Indian, Jewish and Nigerian cultures. Through their commitment to preserving and sharing the unique qualities of their heritage, our diverse group perfectly represents Who We Are and our Mission.

With your support, the Scholarship program will continue. Also across the country, I have completed several long training runs with a few remaining. Follow my journey on Instagram @whoweare_org and thank you so much in advance for your generosity.

With gratitude,
Berj
