AdvanSix Frankford, a chemical manufacturer at 2501 Margaret St., had a team of nearly 30 runners and walkers out on Saturday morning for the Bridesburg 5k and 1-mile Honor Walk.
AdvanSix sponsored this year’s 13th Annual Bridesburg 5k, a fundraiser for the neighborhood’s century-old Memorial Day Parade.
The AdvanSix Frankford team and their friends and family, led by Plant Manager Bill Rodebaugh, ran the 5k, walked the Honor mile, handed out free, reusable tote bags and water bottles, and talked with neighbors about AdvanSix and the products it makes.
“Our ongoing partnership with the Bridesburg community is something everyone at AdvanSix is proud of — including our support for the upcoming Bridesburg Memorial Day Parade, a time-honored tradition for our community,” Rodebaugh said. “Congratulations to my Bridesburg neighbors and Frankford plant employees and family members for an exciting, energizing race. It was a great day.”
AdvanSix supports the local Boys and Girls Club, food pantry and Riverfront North Partnership’s new, waterfront Borski Park.
“AdvanSix can be seen from many places in the neighborhood and it’s also important that you see our team out here with you, because we truly value this community,” Rodebaugh said. “Look for us at the parade with our AdvanSix ambulance, and this summer at the Borski Park splash opening with our new AdvanSix fire engine.” ••
