Celebrating CBA Seniors with 20,200 Mile Virtual Run/Walk

As we continue with our social distancing practices into May, Christian Brothers Academy will be celebrating the Class of 2020 in exciting, yet different ways.

The CBA Mothers’ Club is sponsoring a 20,200-mile virtual run and walk to recognize the CBA senior class, beginning on May 1st – the original final day of classes for the seniors. The event will run through May 20th, with the hope of announcing we reached or surpassed our goal of 20,200 miles on May 21st, the original date of the graduation ceremony.

The Mothers’ Club hopes that students, families, alumni, faculty and friends will join in for the virtual run and walk. Participants are encouraged to share their miles via social media.
