The 13th Annual Casey's Kids 5K Fun Run will be held Saturday, November 7, 2009 at Bear Creek Park.
The run begins promptly at 7:30 a.m. Overflow parking will be available on the grass on the eastern side of the park near Bear Creek Parkway.
This event is sponsored by the Keller Council of PTAs. All proceeds benefit Casey's Kids, a program dedicated to serving economically disadvantaged children in KISD. It is an opportunity for us to show that all children in the KISD are important, and valued members of our community.
Janie Casey was a counselor at Keller Middle School when she began Casey's Kids. She became aware of a student who was attending only three days of school each week, and found this was because the student had only enough clothes for this many days. Janie felt that it was important to make sure all children fit in and not feel different.
If you didn't participate in early registration, late registration for the run will be held from 6:30-7:15 a.m. on Saturday. Runners are discouraged from bringing pets to the event.
