Along with our Premier Sponsors - Iron Physical Therapy and Kiwanis Club of Caldwell/West Essex - the Caldwell-West Caldwell Education Foundation (CWCEF) invites you to our Annual 5K Run/Walk on May 17, 2025. This community-wide event honors the legacies of two of the CWCEF's Founding Members, Theresa DiMasi and Marie LanFrank. Their vision of helping every student in our district be successful is still very much at the heart of our mission today.
