The Mark Palumbo Memorial University Orthopedics 5K
The Mark Palumbo Memorial University Orthopedics 5K is named in honor of Dr. Mark Palumbo, a renowned University Orthopedics spine surgeon who passed away in 2019. In addition to being a highly regarded doctor, he was also extremely active in the community. The Palumbo family has supported The Tomorrow Fund and held active roles with the Providence, RI-based charity for many years.
“The Tomorrow Fund was a charity Dr. Palumbo enjoyed giving to and raising money for, and for us to continue his legacy of generosity after his passing has been a real honor for all of us at University Orthopedics," said Dr. Alan Daniels, spine surgeon and chief of The Center for Spine Health at University Orthopedics.
Anne Palumbo, Dr. Palumbo’s wife, takes an active role in planning the event along with her daughter, Kristen Palumbo, a physician assistant at UOI, and son Mark Palumbo Jr., a marketing outreach manager with UOI. From Gray Matter Marketing, which handled race-day operations, to local businesses and organizations that made monetary and raffle donations, University Orthopedics’ partners were once again vital to the success of this event.
"The sponsors and the participants who participate each year are helping us keep Mark's memory alive, but more importantly, they are supporting our community and children who are sick," said Mark's wife, Anne Palumbo. "This year was a big success. We'll be back next year, and it will be even bigger and better."
