The Essex County Board of Elections proudly hosted its Amazing Race Fundraiser on Friday, June 26, 2026, at the Essex County Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Building in support of the The Valerie Fund.
The event was a tremendous success, bringing together employees from across county departments for a day of teamwork, fun, and friendly competition—all while raising funds for a meaningful cause. Participating teams included representatives from the Superintendent of Elections Office, County Clerk’s Office, Human Resources, Accounting, and the Prosecutor’s Office, with each team made up of three racers.
The race was well received and showcased not only the spirit of giving but also strengthened camaraderie and employee morale across departments.
Congratulations to our winning teams:
1st Place – County Clerk’s Office
2nd Place – County Clerk’s Office
3rd Place – Prosecutor’s Office
The winning teams were awarded trophies and earned 12 months of bragging rights until the next race.
Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and supported this event. Together, we made a difference for children and families served by the The Valerie Fund, and we look forward to an even bigger event in 2027.
