5K for Kelli Raises Special Wish Funds for Breast Cancer Patients

By

5k for Kelli is in memory of Kelli James

Join us in remembering the life of Kelli James and honoring all the breast cancer survivors, the Nghters and the love ones we’ve lost at the 11th Annual 5K for Kelli, presented by the Breast Wishes Foundation on Saturday, August 19th at 9am. 100% of proceeds go to granting wishes for women with breast cancer through the Breast Wishes Foundation.

The 5k for Kelli Run/Walk is a super fun event for the whole family. It is a 3.1 mile out and back course that begins and ends next to Wegerzyn Gardens and winds along the beautiful Stillwater River.

Because Kelli loved fairies, we encourage everyone to dress up in tutus, wings, and Wower crowns. No fairy gear? No problem! We have everything you need at the merchandise tent with all proceeds going to Breast Wishes Foundation. We also offer free fairy face painting and colored hair spraying! Registration and Merchandise tents will open at 7:30 am.

Look, over at Centerville Stadium, caped superheros of all sorts are descending on the track for a 5k / 10k Walk/Run this Saturday, April 16th!  They are able to leap a dozen pretzel donuts in a single bound.  They are the runners/walkers for this special event.

Dubbed the “Bill’s Donut Superhero Run,” this walk/run event is for kids and adults.   Most importantly it benefits a local charity, the Dayton, Ohio Affiliate Chapter of “A Special Wish Foundation, Inc.,” covering Montgomery, Darke, Mercer, Miami, Greene & Shelby Counties.

The event allows families to participate together, or just kids, or just adults.   Who is your favorite super hero?  Green Lantern?  The Flash?  Wonder Woman? Who will you dress up as?

Join the fun and come dressed as your favorite super hero.  Kids go crazy for this stuff, and what a fun way to promote healthy exercise in their lives.   You even get to have some world famous Bill’s Donuts after the race, as well as Mikesells chips, bananas, and grilled hot dogs.  What a fun Food Adventure!

Super heroes get hungry too, ya know.  Plenty of bottled water will be available for re-hydration of our super powers after the race.

What is your favorite donut?  Blueberry?  Long Johns?  Persian Nuts?  Maybe even stop by for more Bill’s Donuts on the way home, around the corner from the stadium.
