Boca Raton Middle 5K Fun Run/Walk To Benefit Better Learning Environment For Students
Boca Raton Community Middle School (BRCMS) will host its Inaugural 5K Fun Run/Walk on Saturday, November 3, 2012. The event will be held at the school where racers and walkers will meet on the field.
The theme of the event is “Step It Up To New Heights.” The event will feature the “Boca Raton Helicopters”. The company will land a helicopter on the school soccer field prior to the race to have BRCMS Principal Peter Slack board and take off. The helicopter will follow the race as it progresses to have Mr. Slack cheer on all participants along the route. Two students will be randomly chosen to ride the helicopter with Mr. Slack.
“We’re always looking for new fun healthy activities that bring parents, students and community members together. The 5K is a phenomenal way to embrace health and wellness and support our students and community at the same time. Hopefully it will become a yearly tradition and just grow from there,” said Mr. Slack.
Businesses are invited to contribute fund-raising sponsorships for the Fun Run/Walk benefiting and enabling a better learning environment for students, staff and faculty of Boca Raton Community Middle School.
The 5K Fun Run/Walk is scheduled to begin on Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 8:00 a.m. A 7:30 a.m. warm-up sponsored by Lululemon Gladiator Boot Camp and Millennium Martial Arts – both community businesses, will assist participants physically and mentally in preparing for the race.
