The Run 4 Hope 5k Cancer Run & 1 Mile Family Fun Run/Walk

The Run 4 Hope is a 5K Road Race & 1-Mile Family Fun Run/Walk that brings together family and friends to show support for one another and to pay tribute to those who have survived cancer, those still fighting cancer, and especially to those we have lost to cancer.  Cancer affects families emotionally, physically, and financially.  The aim is to raise funds for college scholarships granted to incoming and current college students whose families have been affected by cancer through the Marna Pal Memorial Scholarship Fund presented by Marna's Pals, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  Our hope is to take some of the financial burden off of families trying to send their loved one to college.

We welcome everyone to join in on the fun on October 25, 2014.  We will have an awards ceremony and festival afterwards with food, music, and activities for everyone!  Whether you are running, walking, or spectating, come and show your support and be part of a great cause!
