Shoes for Scholars, a local nonprofit, is hosting an upcoming 5K that helps empower middle school students.
Smarts' N Strides 5K Run and Walk takes place on September 20th at Town Square. This event will help support middle school students at Title 1 and low income schools by awarding them with new, brand-name shoes.
The founder of Shoes for Scholars, May Kane, said, "It’s amazing what a new pair of shoes can do and with each stride we take, we move closer to ensuring every student begins their journey with dignity and confidence."
Participants are encouraged to go at their own pace, running or walking. The 5K is two laps around Town Square and all participants will receive a Pinkbox doughnut at the finish line.
Registration is now open for teams and participants. For more information, click here.
