Description
In loving memory of Kelly Fulton, who prompted the club and organized the first race in 2011. Thank you, Kelly.
The purpose of this event is simple: put an END to hunger in the Billings Community. The race net proceeds are divided among the following charities: Meals on Wheels program of the Adult Resource Alliance, Family Service, Inc, The Billings Backpack Program of the Billings Education Foundation, The MSU Billings Yellowjacket Emergency Pantry (YEP) and the Rocky Mountain College Bear Cupboard.
Same great location: Wise Wonders Science & Discovery Museum at 3024 2nd Ave N (map).
Once again Photolanthropy will be there! Holiday fun photos! And, Wise Wonders will be open that morning-please leave food and beverage outside, thanks!
After the races we'll be drawing for 2 giveaways, must be present to win!
