Thank You for Supporting the 3rd Annual Explorer 5K
We are sincerely grateful for your support of the 3rd Annual Explorer 5K. All proceeds from this event are directly reinvested into Hudson’s student-athletes, athletic teams, equipment, and related programs.
The Hudson Athletic Booster Club is dedicated to providing financial support to our teams, coaches, and athletes to further strengthen their athletic and academic success. Last year, we proudly awarded more than $115,000 in grant funding to fulfill coaches’ requests for team needs, including equipment, uniforms, training, and educational resources. In addition, we provided four scholarships for $2,000 each to outstanding student-athletes.
