100% of the race proceeds will benefit the Lions Christmas Basket Program and the Rotary Empty Stocking Fund
The Rotary Club serves over 400 children annually through the Empty Stocking Fund by distributing Chirstmas gifts to kids in need. The program usually hosts a Christmas party where gifts are distributed. This will be the 34th year for the fun
In 1949, the Corbin Lions Club began the Christmas basket program as a way to provide a holiday meal for those in need with only five food baskets and has since grown to approximately 250 baskets each year. Members of the Corbin Lions Club, as well as a group of dedicated volunteers, deliver these baskets each year on the morning of Christmas Eve. Corbin Lions Club Secretary Jim Manning said that the club has had families that have helped to deliver food baskets from way back in the earlier years with the third generation of volunteers now involved in the program.Typically, each food basket consists of enough food for a Christmas meal with plenty of leftovers to ensure that families can have breakfast and extra snacks throughout the week.
