5K Family Fun Run
The annual Kayleen Larson Legacy Foundation 5K is coming up. Proceeds from the walk/run will be used to fulfill Kayleen’s Legacy... that every year on her birthday, Star Studio shelves at the Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis are stocked with toys. Proceeds will also be distributed to groups that help families who are dealing with childhood cancer and funding research for a cure of pediatric cancers. Join us:
Saturday, September 15
9:00 a.m.
Sportsman Park
20806-20842 County Highway 75, Clearwater
Kayleen’s Birthday Bash with free kids activities follow the 5K
When school is out, families that rely on free and reduced breakfast and lunch programs have more meals to provide for, and unfortunately donations to the food shelf are not at a high level during the summer months.
To make your donation easier, ushers will be distributing envelopes for the Food Shelf at church this Sunday, July 22. All food donations and monetary gifts given to the Clearwater/Clear Lake Food Shelf during the month of July will be counted toward a match.
