one-five Foundation Presents Inaugural Family Fun Run/Walk on May 20,

Support the students of CCSD15 by registering for this family event!

The one-five Foundation Family Fun Run/Walk is a new family event scheduled for Saturday, May 20, 2023 at Winston Campus, 900 E. Palatine Road. This is not a timed event and participants can move through the 1.5-mile course at their own pace. Check-in begins at 8:00am on race day and runners and walkers are invited to come early to enjoy DJ music and other activities before the 9:00am race start.

Proceeds from this healthy community run and walk will support the one-five Foundation's mission to acquire resources to be used for programs and projects to enhance and supplement the educational experience of all District 15 students. The one-five Foundation is an autonomous 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.

"We are excited to offer this amazing new family-oriented fundraising event to the community," said Foundation Trustee and Fun Run Chair Natalie DiCosola. "Support for this event will allow the one-five Foundation to continue our efforts on behalf of all students in CCSD15."

Support for this impactful new event is available through participant registration, direct donation, and event sponsorship. All opportunities can be found online at one-five.org. Sponsorship commitment is due by April 27 and pre-registration closes May 15.
