Foust Elementary 5K

On June 6th, my friends and I volunteered at Foust to help them with their annual 5K Race that helps fight against hunger. Being an under privileged community, this is a very important cause as many of the school's families struggle with hunger. My friends and I had collected over 300 cans to help support the food drive that was a part of this race. Although it was hot, the race was a huge success. There were over 50 participants and all of the racers did an amazing job. Everyone finished the race in under 50 minutes which I believe is a huge accomplishment. As a volunteer it was fun being able to encourage all the racers as they crossed the finish line and provide them with water and a small snack after their huge accomplishment. It was a privledge to volunteer and meet all the great families. 

Here are some pictures from the event!
