Did you know that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month? The proceeds of this event will go towards supporting Team Parker For Life, a local charity whose mission is to raise awareness of childhood cancer, support cancer research, and be a voice for the children in their fight against these horrific diseases. The Team Parker For Life Team is "committed to serving the public, specifically children with cancer and their families. We host various events & fundraisers throughout the year not only to meet the financial needs of our programs, but also to unite as a community and raise awareness about childhood cancer."
Mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, and join us for the Belmont Park 5K. Let's celebrate fitness, fun, and the joy of being active in the great outdoors in our beautiful community!
