We are asking area businesses to sponsor this important event. Last year, the 5k raised $21,985.00, after expenses, the majority of which went to the TEAR Fund. Since the inception of the 5k, 11 years ago, over $195,000.00 has been donated for this fund, that assists cancer patients with needed items during their treatments. We are hoping to continue and increase the donation this year.
This year’s 5k will be on Saturday, March 18, at 10:30am. Registration starts at 9:30am, and it will be an officially certified USATF event with timing.
