8th Annual 5K - supporting Mothers' Milk Bank of Mississippi

We are thrilled to announce the 2021 "We Got Milk" 5K. So, throw your hair in a scrunchy, grab your FRIENDS, pop a Nirvana or Brittany Spears CD into your Walk Man and join us for a 90's themed 5K!
The Mothers' Milk Bank of Mississippi screens donor mothers, then collects, pasteurizes, and dispenses human donor milk to Mississippi's Neonatal Intensive Care Units. The babies need you!
