The losses of Matt and Johnny Gaudreau have impacted the hockey community throughout the World.
The Gaudreau family, friends, and community members would like to announce the First Annual Gaudreau Family 5K Run/Walk & Family Day on Saturday, May 31, 2025 at Washington Lake Park, Sewell, NJ. Fanatics is sponsoring this event.
“The lives of John and Matthew have left an indelible mark not just on our local community, but on countless individuals across the country and around the world,” said Michael Green, committee member of the inaugural event. “What makes this event truly special is that it’s not confined to the Greater Philadelphia area. We envision satellite events in cities like Columbus, Calgary, and Boston—and in every community touched by the inspiring legacy of these two remarkable young men.”
“To know the Gaudreau family is to know that family comes before all else,” Michele McCloskey, Executive Director and Principal of the Archbishop Damiano school said. “The family’s long-standing dedication and history at Archbishop Damiano School have been a source of inspiration for us all. Their kindness and love continue to touch our hearts as they strive to live our mission and impact our students’ lives despite their loss.”
