Impact a Hero The
annual Impact a Hero 5K Race is scheduled for May 20th at Sugar Land's
Constellation Field. The home of the Skeeters serves as the backdrop for
the 13th annual fundraiser that benefits the severely wounded veterans
returning from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The funds are used for a
vast number of things that our government has not provided for our
heroes but are sorely needed. We
can use everyone's help. Several of us will be there at 5:00 AM to
start getting organized and the rest need to be there a little before
6:00 AM. We will need help setting out hundreds of traffic cones, 150 US
flags and dozens of tents and chairs. It takes a big crew to do all of
this. It looks like we will have around 1300 runners signed up by
this Saturday. This is a motivator for the Knights when they get to meet
and thank several severely wounded vets that morning. Come out
and have some fun. Please sign up to run the race or pledge to your favorite runner who has already signed up to run. There is a wheelchair race, a 5K race and a Kids 1K race. You can sign up to run with your company or as a private group. This is a family event and at the post race party we will have free food and drinks for all the runners. There will be a kids fun zone with inflatables for them to play on and a train to ride on around the parking lot The Knights of Columbus have been the lead volunteer group for the event every year since it started. With such a great volunteer staff the vast majority of the funds go directly to the heroes who need and appreciate the help. The easiest way to donate to the race is to visit the website, impactahero.org. From there you can register yourself or your group or company. You can also donate directly to Impact a Hero or pledge to a runner. You can also see a list of all of the things Impact a Hero does for our Vets. |
