You are invited to the Junior League of Colorado Springs’ the 6th Annual Reach Your Peak 5k
What: One of the best runs of the year!
When: Sunday, May 18th
Time: 9 a.m. Runners can register at www.active.com.
Where: University Village Center
Why?: The Junior League of Colorado Springs(JLCS) is an organization of women committed to promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women, and improving the Colorado Springs community through the effective action and leadership of our trained volunteers and this year we are celebrating their 90th.
Last year, JLCS members volunteered hundreds of hours to those in need in the Pikes Peak Region. The organization was founded in 1924 to ensure the survival of the Nutrition Camp School for children to help malnourished children in Colorado Springs become healthier, thus fighting off the ravages of tuberculosis. Today, we follow in that tradition of supporting youth in our community through our Kids in the Kitchen initiative which helps empower youth to make healthy lifestyle choices. Our goal is to help reverse the rapid growth of childhood obesity and its associated health issues.
The Junior League of Colorado Springs is also honored to be the Signature Community Supporter for the Pikes Peak Children’s Museum and proud to support its effort to build a children’s museum for the children and families of Colorado Springs.
Reach Your Peak is a fundraising event to support these important endeavors. This event offers runner, walkers and their children the opportunity to raise money for the Junior League of Colorado Springs. We had over 200 attendees at this event in April 2013!
“This is truly the best 5k event in town! So much fun for the kids and parents alike, scooters and strollers are welcome!! Come join us for a fabulous weekend of fun!!”
