Lace up your shoes and join us for a beautiful evening around Lake Morton to raise money for LVIM! 👟🦢

On March 25 at 5:30 PM, we’re hosting a fun run/walk around Lake Morton to raise money for our LVIM Swan Derby Team, The First Round Cygnets. Whether you want to run, jog, or enjoy a relaxed walk, this event is open to all paces and fitness levels.

After you finish the run/walk or just want to stop by for some ice cream, head over to Mootown Scoops to cool down, learn about LVIM, and spend time together. A portion of each ice cream sold will go to support LVIM and their mission to help the medical needs of the Lakeland Community. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the evening, connect with friends, and support LVIM and the Swan Derby!

This event is open to everyone so bring your friends and family!
