The 11th Annual Race for Kids 5K/10K will be back at Franciscan Health – East in Lafayette on Saturday, June 6. And this year, Franciscan Health is calling on all superheroes to join in!
This year’s event features a brand-new course for the 5K Run/Walk, along with the addition of a 10K option for those ready to go the extra mile (or three)! The Healthy Family Fun Fair will return with many of your favorite vendors, plus some exciting new additions the whole family will enjoy!
In true superhero fashion, the tiniest fighters and the champions who support them will be honored with a special blessing for our NICU families followed by the NICU Reunion, which serves as a powerful reminder that everyone needs a superhero!
Cape or no cape, we invite you to be a hero for a day to support our Level III NICU and Pediatric Therapy programs. Last year’s Race for Kids raised over $24,000 and allowed us to provide essential supplies for families in our NICU as well as cutting edge equipment for our Pediatric Therapy rooms.
Please reach out to Jennifer Strange at Jennifer.strange@franciscanalliance.org with any questions about the event.
Together, we can turn miles into milestones and make sure our smallest community members have the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive.
