March Of Dimes Event Later This Month

 

The March of Dimes SuperHero 5K Run/Walk will be held later this month.

The event will be held on Saturday, September 30th at Boyd Field in Toccoa and is sponsored by Eaton Corporation, 1st Franklin Financial, and Crown Resources.

Michelle Lanier and Leon Womack are leading the event in Toccoa. They say the March of Dimes event is a great event for the family and for serious runners, too. “ The SuperHero 5K run is a Peachtree qualifier. We have bouncy houses , and great food” says Womack. Lanier added “ There will be a lot of businesses there, giveaways, sno cones for the kids, and everything but the run is free to the community.”

Lanier says that it is very important to continue to support the March of Dimes. “ The March Of Dimes does a lot of research on premature babies, but they also do much for healthy babies. They are important to all of us. We are able to take the funds that we raise and send a majority to the March of Dimes, but keep some of it in town for local families to help them with their expenses.”

One of those families is this year’s Ambassador family-The Krumenakers. “Aaron and Anna and their twins are our Ambassador family” says Womack; “ They were born premature and the babies are doing really good.”
