Operation Smile 5K Run/Walk

Thirty years ago, Operation Smile was formed in order to help children across the globe have a brighter future. Their purpose was to make sure these children had a life without ridicule, pain or suffering. Four years ago, I was introduced to the people of Operation Smile and have been amazed at the number of lives they have changed, just by doing a simple surgery, that can take as little as 45 minutes. Because of their efforts throughout the years, more than 200,000 children now have a future filled with promise and hope.

100% of the $30 registration fee will benefit Operation Smile. The event will be a chance for the community to run/walk together to help raise awareness. It will be a fun day filled with games, prizes and a raffle at the end of the race.

*The first 150 people to register will receive a free t-shirt!*
