Fall Charity Challenge Virtual 5K Run/Walk

Welcome to the first Pendleton Tri Kappa sponsored Fall Charity Challenge Run.  This is a great way to stay fit and moving and safely enjoy time outdoors either alone or with family and friends.  It’s also for a great cause!  Your registration fee will go towards a “Fall Charity Challenge” t-shirt, Donations to 4 great Madison County charities, and Funding for Pendleton Tri Kappa to use throughout the year for its philanthropy fund.  This fund provides monies to be distributed to many organizations and individuals throughout Madison County and the State of Indiana.  Some of these include:  the local library's Read and Feed and children's programs, the senior art show, the Pendleton historical museum, Best Buddies, Riley Children's Hospital, provision of college scholarships to high school seniors, and an end of the year dinner/recognition program for our high school special needs classes.  Money is also distributed throughout the year as individual and community needs arises.  During the last year, Pendleton Tri Kappa provided monetary relief for a number of individuals who experienced damage secondary the Memorial Day tornado as well as assisting in the provision of monetary relief toward payment of utility bills for individuals who were adversely effected by the Coronavirus Pandemic.  When you sign up, you can rest assured, you are doing something positive for yourself and many, many others in your community and county.
