For a second year, I&I company SCA is the platinum sponsor the 5K Run for Clean Air, a certified-green run and the Philadelphia area's largest Earth Day celebration, will take place on tomorrow morning. In its 32nd year, this event is a celebration of sustainable and healthy neighborhoods, clean air and improvements in the region's overall environmental health.
 

SCA is the maker of Tork soap and other products used in commercial settings such as office buildings, restaurants and schools.
 
 
As the Platinum Ssponsor SCA will cover the 5K Run and 3K Walk for Clean Air registration fee for participants age 60 and over.   Last year, SCA sponsored more than 70 Run participants in the age 60 and over category.
 

SCA will also help the Clean Air Council and the City make the Run a zero-waste event, thanks to its innovative outdoor waste bin stations, which are used for trash, composting and recycling collection. The stations launched at the Philadelphia Marathon in November 2012 and are used during events  in Philadelphia, a part of SCA's effort to help the city better sort and reduce waste, and move closer to being the greenest city in America.
 

New for 2013, a Kids' Fun Run has been added to the celebration. Mom's Clean Air Force, a group of over 120,000 parents banding together to protect our children's health from toxic air pollution, is sponsoring the inaugural Kids' Fun Run. The Kids' Fun Run includes a ½ mile sprint for ages 5-12 and a 250 yard dash for ages 5 and under.
