Join Us for New Berlin's 4th of July Celebration

Gatzke & Ruppelt is proud to announce their sponsorship of the 2nd Annual New Berlin National Dash. Presented by the New Berlin Junior Woman's Club, the event consists of a 2 mile run/walk or 5k run down National Avenue in front of thousands of parade spectators.

In addition to creating a positive image for New Berlin, all race proceeds go directly back to the community through scholarships, donations to the food pantry, police department and library, to name a few.

The race begins at 12:15pm, right before the New Berlin parade on the 4th of July. Look for members of our firm among the many race day events and at the finish line tent. We hope to see you there!
