Attention anyone who lives in East-Central Florida! The Gilchrist Education Foundation (GEF) will be hosting the 2nd annual Light the Way 5K. If you are not familiar with GEF, it is a non-profit foundation that raises money to provide scholarships to children who desire to attend Christian schools in North Brevard County.

The date for the race is January 19, 2008. This event is a run/walk event and even though it is a part of the Titusville race series, GEF considers it a family event and goes out of their way to make it a great time for both adults and little ones. So if you can’t run, come out and walk with your family. Mark your calendars and invite your friends and family to join you. I wrote about our family’s great experience at the 1st annual Light the Way 5K earlier this year on leucht.com and also included a couple photos from the event:

If you are the one saying, “I can’t run or walk 5K” then there are other ways that you can help. The race committee is in need of 20-25 volunteers for the day of the race. They need help with parking, water stations, registration, etc. So if you are not interested in running/walking, but would be available to help on the day of the race, please contact myself or Samantha using the “email us” form on this website!

There is an additional way that runners and walkers can help raise more funds this year, by getting friends, co-workers and family members to sponsor you in the race. Although it is not required, it is a simple way to raise an extra $10, $15, $25 or let’s think big $100 for the foundation. The sponsor form can be downloaded from the GEF website.

All of the race and registration information can be found on the web at www.gilchristfoundation.org So don’t delay… sign up today!!!
