The Utah Foster Care Foundation held the second annual Fun Run/Walk for Kids on May 15th.
The goal of this event was to raise awareness about foster care in the community. We wanted one person to represent every child in foster care in Eastern region. We had over 100 people gather to walk one mile per child from Price Main Street to the city park.
Some people ran the entire way and others arrived at a little slower pace.
Once at the park, we played games, jumped in the bouncer, made crafts, had face painting, and ate lunch. Children of all ages enjoyed the event.
It was a wonderful time to gather as a community to demonstrate support and understanding for foster care. We appreciate the community support in this event and all those who came out to participate and also those who donated items and time to make this a successful event.
