Run/Walk For a Cause

Proceeds from these not-for-profit events support the Medical Fitness & Fit for Life Program Scholarship Fund. The mission behind the scholarship fund is to provide equal opportunity to health and wellness programming to everyone in the community regardless of socioeconomic status. This fund helps countless members of the community better their health when they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it. Additionally, race proceeds also benefit local youth programming in the community and the local food pantries. These races are all about helping build a strong healthy community one runner (or walker) at a time!
