WBW Mother's Day 5k Run/Walk & Kid's Races
5k Run/Walk for adults & kid's races in the park. Ribbons awarded in age groups for male/female. Proceeds to benefit LLL.
Our race went very well. We’ll have results posted at wbw.esalibirth.com in the next day or so with pictures…etc. We totaled around $1000 (profit) for the event, but with sponsors & awards (before taking out our costs) we had about $2000+ total in donations. I’m thrilled, this was very exciting and successful and I really look forward to next year’s event and hopefully many others just like it!
