Hello July!!! Fun Run month!!! We seriously are so excited to see everyone on the 25th! We’ve had a few questions about the day of the run so I’m hoping I can answer some here.

1) If you would like to bring a toy to donate we will have the boxes at the Hideout. If you can make it to the hideout we can bring it there for you!

2) we collect toys for babies- 11/12 years old both boys and girl toys.

3) Can’t make it to the Run and still want to donate whether it’s cash or toy donation how can I do that?
Please feel free to reach out to anyone on our committee- Stephanie and Darren Dewitt, Molly Koets, Chris Trumble and Lindsay Yoder.

4) Our Venmo and Paypal are active. All funds donated will be used to purchase toys come Christmas time!

Please feel free to message any of our committee members with any questions!

We couldn’t do this without all of you!

We’ve had a super generous Donation of pulled pork and hotdogs to serve at the end of our run along with a few sides our team is gonna throw in! We can’t wait to see everyone next month! This has been a lot of fun but hard work to make sure this is fun yet the safest we could make it! We love doing this for our community and it wouldn’t be possible without you guys!
