The Pierogi 5k is organized by passionate members of the Polish American Congress Central Division of New York State who aim to promote health and heritage in a vibrant, engaging way. With deep roots in the local community, we strive to create a memorable and meaningful experience for all participants.
The Polish American Congress is a National Umbrella Organization, representing at least 10 million Americans of Polish descent and origin. Its membership is comprised of fraternal, educational, veteran, religious, cultural, social, business, political organizations and individual members.
The Polish American community prides itself on its deeply rooted commitment to the values of family, faith, democracy, hard work and fulfillment of the American dream.
The Central Division of New York State is part of the Polish American Congress “umbrella” along with 24 other State Divisions and Chapters. In all, there are four Divisions in New York State.
