The run (walk, stroller, skip) is on at Fontana Sports as your favorite local sporting and outdoor store is gearing up for its weekly $5 5 K.
Now all we need is you.
Beginning next week, Wednesday, May 6, at Fontana Sports (216 Henry Street) we will be hosting our weekly $5 5 K, and all the mechanisms are in place for us to once again help local nonprofits’ fundraising while also providing running (walking or strolling) enthusiasts with an opportunity to stretch their legs.
So far, we have an impressive list of nine different local Madison nonprofits (Focused Interruption, Tri 4 Schools, Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin, Literacy Network, Dane County Humane Society Wildlife Center, Dane County Humane Society, Centro Hispano of Dane County, Ice Age Trail Alliance, and Girls on the Run of South Central Wisconsin) we are partnering with to assist these organizations and, as a result, the local community as well.
Yet, there is room for more groups for us to help. The Fontana $5 5K will run every Wednesday from early May through October 28 and we currently have spots for additional nonprofits to take advantage of our fundraising excursion.
Additionally, we are looking for more participants to enjoy this healthy endeavor along the University of Wisconsin campus and on the shores of Lake Mendota. In my mind, the Fontana $5 5K is a perfect way for groups to bond while doing a good deed for the people of Madison.
As they say, “the more the merrier.”
