The event is kicked off at 8:15 am with the Childhood Cancer Patient & Family Walk where each child with cancer is recognized.  The official 5K DASH will begin 8:30 am.

“We are amazed at how much our event grows each year,” said Donna Culliver, founder and operations director of the ministry. “The community truly embraces these families by coming out to support our event.  The route is beautiful and is an opportunity to take your morning walk or leisure stroll while helping make a difference in the lives of childhood cancer families.  None of this would be possible without all the volunteers and groups who work tirelessly to make the DASH a success.”

Bib Timing Tag System will be available again this year for those runners wanting to know their time.  Our timing company will attach an adhesive timing tag to each bib prior to the event and before packet pick-up on Friday, October 2nd.  This new system will also eliminate post-race collection of timing chips.  Of course, for those not interested in being timed you have the option to participate with just a bib number.  Water stations will be provided along the route.  Prizes will be awarded to the top runner from each category.

Attendees and participants are invited to enjoy music and the popular jump house.  Raffle tickets for some wonderful prizes will go on sale August 20th and continue until they are sold out.  Contact Gayle Gaskamp at 979-251-2593 to help sell or purchase tickets.  The event will conclude with the moving Memorial Butterfly Release to remember those children who valiantly battled cancer, but are no longer with us.

“My favorite part of the 5K DASH is the childhood cancer patient and family walk,” said Culliver. “It’s a celebration of the precious children who are still alive after battling their disease and a memorial to those who lost their lives. It’s the highlight of the morning.”

Out Gold Ribbon Sponsor is TFE Company, Inc.  Sponsorship opportunities are available now by visiting our website.
