The Community Fund of Darien's signature event, The Darien Road Race, welcomes Mirador as the presenting sponsor for the event. The race brings together families, athletes, and adults young and old to celebrate the spirit of our community and supports our neighbors. The event has raised more than $1.1 million over the years to benefit our neighbors with critical needs in Stamford, Norwalk and Darien. All proceeds from the race will be allocated to local nonprofits and community initiatives that support youth programs and services. The community fund's community investments target basic needs, community health, youth success and workforce development. Community initiatives include the Thriving Youth Task Force, the Human Service Planning Council (HSPC) and the Touch-a-Life program.
