The Cause
While looking for alternative ways to raise money for our youth club, and at the same time stay connected and engaged with our supporters and the broader community, we came up with the idea to host a 5K fundraiser. Our hope is that we can provide a way for people to get out of their house in a safe and healthy manner, and also support a club that they love.
