Run for the Son ’15 – A Huge Success!!
We want to thank everyone who came out to our 5K Saturday, May 2 and ran, walked, and volunteered. It was such a fun day and such a blessing for our ministry. We are so grateful to all the sponsors who made the event possible. Run for the Son is one of our largest fundraisers. The race, banquet, and monthly donors make CLC possible. We are not funded by the school and do not receive government support so we rely on your generous donations. We were very blessed to have such amazing sponsors this year for our race. Please make sure to thank our sponsor next time you visit their business!
Our Run for the Sun was the most successful yet! We had almost 160 racers participate in the 1 mile fun run and the 5K!! Our racers loved running through the new downtown location and the new set up at the First United Methodist Church. The first person to cross the finish line was local track coach Tommy Jones with a time of 17:49. Luke Stoltz was seconds behind him and their competition helped make the race very exciting. Everyone had a great time!
