Spaygetti and No Balls Ball
Our first fundraising event of the year will be the 2nd Annual Run For Kids’ Sake on Saturday, March 9th, beginning at 9 AM. Through sponsorships, donations, and event registrations, funds will be raised for mentoring relationships for underserved children right here in our community. Tickets are non refundable. Event will continue in rain or shine.
The 5K run will take participants through a scenic route within Lake Conestee Nature Park, in Greenville, SC. The route may include well-maintained trails, boardwalks, and possibly some challenging yet rewarding terrains. The 1-mile fun run takes a more leisurely path within the park, ensuring a family-friendly atmosphere. This shorter route allows children, beginners, and those looking for a more relaxed experience to join in the festivities.
