Our run club students train to run the GIPS Fun Run (1 mile or 5K) in May. We would like to have students participate in other running events in our community such as Race for Grace (April 1, 2017), Rock it For Dakota (late April, 2017), Trinity Lutheran Color Run (late April 2017), Glow 4 Gabby (June 24, 2017), and the Nebraska State Fair (August 26, 2017). Our students come from poverty homes; therefore, they do not also have appropriate/supportive running shoes.
Our GIPS Foundation has allocated $500 to our project to help us purchase shoes for students who will participate in additional community running events. If a student participates in all of the above running events it will cost about $100 per student; therefore, we are asking for your support to raise $500 for the entry fees for our students to participate in the additional community running events.
