Organiser's Description
This event will be serving two purposes: fund the NHS scholarships and raise money for the CASA of McHenry County (Court Appointed Special Advocates). Each year, NHS hosts an event to pay for our scholarships. Last year, we decided to get the community involved more and serve as a bridge between McHenry and MCHS. It was such a huge success that wed like to make it an annual event. Last years color run allowed us to involve students, children, and adults to support a good cause that affects community members. This year we are proposing a glow run. Were hoping by changing the kind of run it is each year will keep it fresh and encourage new participants.
