(St. Louis,
MO) Families and fitness enthusiasts
will enjoy a special celebration during the 22nd
Annual Run for Sight at St. Louis Union Station! The event includes
opportunities for individuals and teams to participate in a 5K Run, 2 Mile
Walk, Kid’s 1 Mile Dash and a non-competitive Kid’s STL 250 Birthday Dash.
Both sighted and visually impaired children are encouraged to
participate in this short (1/8 mile), inclusive Fun Run honoring the 250th
birthday of St. Louis. You won’t want to miss the STL 250 Birthday Bash, which takes place right after the
races – live music, a performance by Circus Harmony acrobats, cupcakes, and an awards
presentation - recognizing the best race finishers and top fund raising teams!
The best part of
this event is all proceeds directly benefit the Delta Gamma Center for Children
with Visual Impairments - funding education, therapy and family support
services. The Run for Sight has grown into
a popular family event that attracts over 2,000 thousand participants, who help
raise $100,000. Many families that
receive services from the Delta Gamma Center set up fundraising teams, as do
local companies and other community groups.
