Annual ¡ANDA! 5K Run/Walk

HAVEN Free Clinic's 12th annual ¡ANDA! 5K fundraiser is on Sunday, Oct. 4 at 8 a.m. at Edgewood Park.

The HAVEN Free Clinic, organized by students from Yale Schools of Medicine, Public Health, Nursing, and the Physician Associate Program, provides primary care services to uninsured patients in Greater New Haven. This fundraiser contributes up to 70% of HAVEN’s total annual budget, and allows us to provide the high-quality, equitable services our patients need every week. We would love it if everyone in the community would sign up to run, walk, donate, or sponsor a friend to help us reach our fundraising goal of $40,000.

You can register for the 5K, learn more about the event, and help fundraise on our ¡ANDA! 5K website. You also can explore teams from across Yale's campus that you can join or support.

One hundred percent of the proceeds of the fundraiser go directly to patient care, including reproductive health services, tuberculosis treatment, behavioral health sessions (in partnership with Connecticut Mental Health Center’s Hispanic Clinic), and specialty care, among many other services.

Along with clinical care, student volunteers connect patients to medical debt relief; emergency cash assistance for rent, utilities, and food; and legal assistance through our medical-legal partnership.

For over 20 years, Yale students from across the university have volunteered with HAVEN Free Clinic. It is a critical partnership between the Yale community, community-based organizations, and residents of New Haven.
