Walking Club Wrap Up by Jamie Cooper & Erika Meiners
We participated in 6 local 5K’s and were able to support many charities and organizations throughout this season: Make-A-Wish Dixon, Ashton Community Fund, Dixon Athletic Boosters, Dixon Main Street, YMCA Strong Kids, United Way of Lee County, OHS Athletic Department, Oregon Village of Progress and the Dixon Park District. As a team, we donated $7,230 in registrations! Our runners officially won 2 Corporate Challenges (Reagan Run & Run for the Way 5K), earning an extra $2000 for our fund! In addition, they were so close to winning at our last event that we threw in an extra $1000. Thanks to our runners for an extra $3000! The last race of the season was the Haunted Halloween 5K in Dixon, which was a night-time race through Lowell Park complete with Halloween costumes, zombies throughout, and chili afterwards. A first for our group, but I’m sure we’ll participate again! That being said, the grand total raised by our group for Kreider Services is $8,300.00! (Yes, that’s $15,530 donated to local charities & organizations just by running or walking with Crest Foods!) A big thank you to everyone for participating this season. It’s nice to see the participation numbers grow every year and we look forward to running, walking and raising money for charity next year!
