The etix Run for You 5k on Saturday, Oct. 28 and presented by Precision BioScience is an out-and-back route starting in front of Run-n-Tri Outfitters at 11831 Retail Drive, running out and back through Crenshaw Hall then returning to the race site.
In an effort to extend the local reach of our run, a donation is made to the Sam Hopper Memorial Fund and CureFA.org, in honor of Alison Price. In addition, we’ll be doing a number of different drives to benefit four additional charities; choose to participate in one or all.
Shoe Drive: bring your used shoes and they will be donated to local school children from elementary through high school;
Toiletry Drive for Mustard Seeds for Needs: bring any new, unopened toiletry items (hotel shampoo, soap, razors, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc) and they will be donated to local teens who don’t have these items;
Book Drive for Veterans: bring gently used books for all ages and they will be given to local veteran families (and maybe additional groups for children);
Pajama Drive: Sam Hopper loved pajama day. Purchase new pajamas (shop clearance and get more pjs for your money!) and they will be given to the Hopper Family to donate.
