THANK YOU, MATTAWAN!
At last night's Foundation meeting, the Wildcat Road + Trail 5K Committee came to present us with our BIG CHECK! In the 16th year of the race, you helped us raise over $16,000! This money will be reinvested in quality educational initiatives at MCS, and we want everyone who participated in the race to know how much we appreciate your commitment to the students and faculty at Mattawan. In fact, you have been supporting us through this race since 2011, and in the intervening years, the Wildcat 5K has raised $148,843! So again, THANK YOU, Mattawan!! 💙💛

THANK YOU, SPONSORS!
Sponsorships make such a big difference at fundraising events like this. We want to extend another sincere Thank You to the 28 businesses that partnered with the Race Committee to make a positive impact at Mattawan this past August. 💙💛

THANK YOU, Scott and the Wildcat 5K Race Committee!
Scott VanLoo has been a tireless Race Director for the Wildcat 5K for a decade and a half! He and his Race Committee work so hard to put on a sophisticated, quality 5K Race year after year, and we want to acknowledge their efforts and expertise. Scott's commitment to offering an excellent race experience while balancing the cost of doing so has been a significant factor in how successful this race has been as a fundraiser for The Foundation for all these years. Once again, THANK YOU to this amazing team! 💙💛

Thank you, Mattawan, for showing up for our students’ education in a BIG WAY!! What an amazing 16th year for the Wildcat Road and Trail 5K!

Mattawan, you’re UNBELIEVABLE! 💛

The final numbers are in, and together we raised $16,300 from this year’s 16th Annual Wildcat Road & Trail 5K!

Every registration, sponsorship, donation, and volunteer hour helped make that possible, with the funds going back through the Mattawan Public Education Foundation (MPEF) to support students, teachers, and educational opportunities throughout our district.

This year gave us plenty to work around with construction, a redesigned course, and more than a few behind-the-scenes adjustments, but once again, this community showed up.

To every runner, walker, volunteer, sponsor, donor, spectator, school staff member, and community supporter, THANK YOU!

$16,300 raised. One incredible community. One UNBELIEVABLE Year 16.
