The Rotary Club of Elkton has announced the Fourth Annual Firecracker 5K Fun Run for Todd County. The 5K race will be held on Saturday, June 27, with registration due by June 20. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Todd County Schools' Family Resources and Youth Services Center (FRYSC) to provide new back-to-school shoes for the district's students.
Why it matters
The Firecracker 5K is an important annual community event that helps ensure underprivileged students in Todd County start the school year with new shoes and socks, which can make a big difference in their confidence and ability to focus on their studies.
The details
The 5K race will begin at 8 a.m. with sign-in starting at 6:30 a.m. The Rotary Club's goal this year is to raise enough funds to provide 200 pairs of new shoes and socks, which would require around $6,000 in donations. Last year's Firecracker 5K helped bring brand new shoes and socks to over 200 Todd County children.
