Food and Beverages
Food and beverages from home are allowed.

Fundraising
We welcome you to come as a group or an individual, and if interested, to raise funds to be donated to this year’s official charity, American Gold Star Mothers (AGSM).  We will have a representative from America’s Gold Star Mothers on location as well.  This is a non-profit event.  Proceeds will go to AGSM.

A suggestion for groups:  Why not get a sponsor for your group or get donations for each mile walked.  You could also have t-shirts made identifying your group and your sponsors.  We hope you will run/walk with us for as long as your legs and hearts will allow.

Sponsorship
As with any community event, expenses can become overwhelming.  If you would like to help us by sponsoring part of this worthy event, we would love to speak with you.  Please contact Melinda or Steffani.
