The members of the Chatham Club are born to strum.

That’s because a 1952 reissue Fender Telecaster guitar autographed by Bruce Springsteen will be given away during the gym’s second annual Fit-to-Food 5K Run on Sunday in Chatham.

The run is a benefit for the Community FoodBank of New Jersey and tickets for the guitar raffle are $100. They can be purchased through www.chathamclub.com.

“He’s a huge supporter of the FoodBank,” said the Chatham Club’s Maritza Ostlund of Springsteen. “I bought a ticket because my husband plays guitar and I’m sure he would love one of Bruce Springsteen’s guitars.”

The Fit-to-Food 5K Run is open to Chatham Club members and nonmembers. The day will include face and pumpkin painting, a photo booth, live music, local vendors and more. The Chatham Club, 484 Southern Blvd. in Chatham, started out as a squash facility in the ’70s and eventually expanded its fitness offerings.
