The race benefits the Children's Cancer Research Fund (CCRF). The CCRF is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing national support for pediatric cancer clinical research and improving the medical environment for all children.
The CasITa-to-5k will also donate money to sponsor a couple of families with children with cancer to attend the event.
The Kids 4 Kids 5k will feature an 'All Star' Carnival with athletes and celebrities at the Finish. The CasITa-to-5k will have the opportunity to meet Walkaround Elmo and maybe even get a graduation picture with the guy.
What a fantastic event! I'm trying to get involved with more charity events around running but sadly there aren't many in SA. I'll have to change that. Have a great weekend Green Girl!
ReplyDeleteGreat fun for everyone and what a good cause. Somehow it makes it so much more worth while when you run for a cause than trying to simply PR.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at Elmo. :)
ReplyDeleteI think the Disney charaters is a fantastic idea, the kids will love it!! Graduation day is coming up soon :).
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun, the community will LOVE this! I wish LA wasn't so far away!
ReplyDeleteIf this was an All Star event, why wasn't I invited as a Star. Hmmmh, my invite probably got lost in the mail.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic event. Good job on all the charity events thus far. You have increased them from last year/ I am trying to do more of them this year, so this was a great post.
