Mooseheart is hosting this year's 5k event
IN-PERSON AND VIRTUALLY!
They are hoping to exceed 50 teams this year! If you choose to participate virtually, you can choose a time and place that's most convenient and safe during the month of November and keep them posted as to where your trails will take you and what you, your friends, coworkers, and family will do to make it the most memorable event! For those participating in-person on November 19, 2022, the 5K Run/Walk will give you a chance to see the Mooseheart campus where the children in our care live and learn. And, this will also give YOU the opportunity to see where your support and fundraising efforts for this event really goes!
This is a very important fundraiser that supports Mooseheart Child City & School, home to nearly 200 children each year. Mooseheart Child City and School serves children who, for a variety of reasons, cannot be provided a suitable home by their family. Mooseheart continues to provide the highest quality of care and education and this challenge can only be met with YOUR generosity. We need to continue to strengthen an academic program and vocational program that works - and allow students to take strides to learn at the appropriate grade level and graduate with a college scholarship. Yes, 80% of Mooseheart graduating seniors enroll in two and four-year universities around the country!
Because of your generous support and participation, we can continue to provide for the children in a safe environment where they enjoy a solid education and loving home environment.
