Keegan's 5K for Craniosynostosis Awareness

07/12/2026

Time for some 14th annual Keegan’s 5K shout outs!!
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in our event this year! Even though lightning prohibited us from actually completing the 5K, we were still able to raise a grand total of $5000!!! All proceeds go to the who mail care packages to kids around the world who are having cranio surgeries, touching many cranio families lives 💜 We are blown away by everyone’s incredible generosity, if people just paid their registration fee (with the cranio warriors being free) then our total would have been $2,070, let that sink in to show how incredibly generous all of you souls are!! 💜

A huge thank you to Keegan’s grandma, Vicki Buchite for writing out 2045 ribbons!! (Whew!!) These ribbons have encouraging Bible verses and phrases written on them with love, each one prayed over and mailed to the Cranio Care Bears, to be made into prayer chains to go in the care packages. We also thank Vicki for selling her New Things jewelry and helping raise over $300 towards the total donation!!! Thank you to those who made purchases online since the weather did not hold out to shop in person! May you enjoy wearing your new treasures and know you were prayed over while my mom created that special piece for you 💜

We are so grateful to all of our sponsors this year, Insurance Brokers of MN Anoka for generously sponsoring our t-shirts again this year, Kowalski’s Market for water bottles, Costco for bananas and goldfish, as well as generous donations from Keegan’s grandpa’s company Buchite and Associates, Nick the owner of The Flick barber shop in Shoreview, as well as for the willingness for the Baron of Bubble to make some bubbles happen before the storm as well as his partner Vicki who made stellar balloon twisting happen amidst the strong winds! Shout out to Keos shave ice truck for heading our way in hopes the storm would pass! And one final shout out to Walter Harrison Sells for the incredible shirt design and Kari and her mom for manning the 1/2 way table!!

Next year is the big 15th annual!! Let’s make it our best year yet!! Enjoy the rest of your summer, everyone!! 💜

After you are done checking out how your plants are coming along, sit down with your coffee (or beverage of choice) and register for Keegan’s 5K!! We have had several families register already and I’m working on getting thank you emails sent out! The shirt company usually needs a 2 week notice on orders, so best guess is one week left to register and guarantee a t-shirt! Registration takes minutes online, then get out and enjoy this gorgeous day!! ☀️
