Scheels "Kick the Couch" 5K

Over the weekend LEEP was lucky enough to have our local Scheels store and a group of MSU students choose our agency to support in a fundraising effort. $5 of every entry fee went directly to LEEP and in total they raised $1620!!! There was a HUGE turn out (324 to be exact) and the day was a huge success!!


Becky, Inge, and I were there to represent our LEEP office. We were in complete awe at the response to this race and all had a great time.

Becky- Exec.Director
Inge- Special Olympics Coordinator
Me- Asst. Director
Jamie, Lisa, and I all got involved. I SO appreciated them coming and taking part. Both of them have been training and did a great job running the entire 3.1 miles!

Gearing up to get out and get moving!
