Organiser's description
Please join us for the 9th Annual Smile Run in memory of Christian Egner hosted by The Christian Egner Foundation, Inc. Christian passed away in the fall of 2015 from asthma related complications. He was an energetic little boy who loved to dance and sing, and his smile was contagious. Proceeds from the race will go directly to organizations that benefit children, particularly those with special needs. Our hope is that through this race, we will be able to bless other children and bring years of smiles to their faces. More information on The Smile Run
