NEWS
WHAT’S NEW
The 17th Annual MK5K Run & Family Fun Walk was one for the books!
122 participants joined us for the run and family fun walk plus at least one four-legged participant! 30 amazing volunteers helped make the evening possible. And together, through sponsors, donations, runners and walkers, we raised an incredible $16,000 ~ our most ever!
Year after year, we continue to see this event grow, with more sponsors, runners, walkers and community members stepping up to support our mission.
Every dollar raised helps Southwest Crisis Center provide critical support, advocacy and hope for local children, adults and families impacted by domestic violence, sexual violence, child abuse and human trafficking.
To everyone who ran, walked, volunteered, sponsored, donated, cheered us on or helped make the evening possible: THANK YOU!
Together, you’re helping build safer, stronger and more supportive communities across southwest Minnesota.
And a very special thank you to Leading Edge Credit Union, our Presenting Sponsor, for helping make this year’s MK5K such an incredible success!
Take a look back at some of our favorite moments from the night and thank you for making the 17th Annual MK5K one to remember!
