Pennings Farm Cidery and the Rashad Jennings Foundation are proud to announce Running Back to the Farm, an all ages event positioned to raise money for underprivileged youth literacy, mentorship and health & fitness programs. Former NY Giants Running Back, Rashad Jennings, teams up with the Pennings farm family to produce this celebrity inspired event on August 10, 2-7PM.

Running Back to the Farm is all about raising money for a cause that is near and dear to Rashad Jennings. Jennings was an average kid, of above average weight, with below average grades, with what were considered unattainable dreams of becoming an NFL Running Back. Jennings was given a break not many receive, when he was inspired through education, provided direction to reach success and encouraged to adopt health and fitness as a way of life. He proved his doubters wrong when he stepped onto the turf as a NY Giants Running Back from 2014 -2017, reigned champion on Dancing with the Stars Season 24 and became a published author, proving his strengths as an athlete, team-player and scholar. 
The Rashad Jennings Foundation is Jennings current playbook used to create possibilities for young dreamers to reach their goals just as he did. Through the foundation, and the Running Back to the Farm event, Jennings takes on a similar role to that of a running back when he receives ‘handoffs’ of monetary contributions to be used to inspire youth nationwide to blitz in the face of adversity. Pennings Farm Cidery aligns itself with the Rashad Jennings philosophy of mentoring and encouraging youth to strive for personal success. 

The day is packed with live music, delicious food truck eats, a selection of Pennings Farm Cidery’s own hard cider, New York State craft beer, wine and specialty cocktails, silent auctions and fun activities for all ages.
