Run for the Kids.
2nd Annual Run for the Kids raises $117,000!
The second annual Run for the Kids charity event took place on June 23, raising an impressive $117,000 for the Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation of Chatham-Kent (CTC Foundation). Despite the rainy weather, spirits were high as participants of all ages and abilities came together to support local kids and families.
Building on last year's success, the event, sponsored by main sponsor Enbridge Gas, featured a 200-M kids run and a 5-KM inclusive walk, run, and move event. The rainy weather did not deter the enthusiasm of the participants, who showed up in full force to demonstrate their support and community spirit.
In addition to the main events, families and children enjoyed a variety of activities, including CTC craft sessions, interactive activities provided by Lally Auto Group, CK Play Rangers, CK Public Library, and Rondeau Park, as well as face painting and a hot dog BBQ. The atmosphere was vibrant and filled with joy as everyone joined in the festivities, making the day memorable.
