This year’s run will support Food4Kids Halton! Food4Kids Halton is a weekend nutrition program for elementary school children who have been identified as having limited or no access to food during weekend periods and over the summer months.
Our goal is to raise funds to ensure that no child in Halton goes hungry. Donations in support of Food4Kids Halton will be collected by The Rotary Burlington North Foundation, with net donations provided to Food4Kids Halton following the event (1).
Your personal online fundraising drive for Food4Kids Halton can be set up through the Race Roster Registration page. We ask that you make a voluntary donation when you sign-up for the run, or better yet, create a fundraising team and collect donations from friends and family members that support your desire to help Food4Kids Halton.
