The 2009 Heroes for Children 5K presented by WFAA is right around the corner, and ONLINE registration is OPEN. The 5K and 1 mile fun run will take place on Saturday, September 12, 2009 at Shops at Legacy in Plano, TX.
We are really excited about this year’s event, as it marks our 5th Anniversary for Heroes for Children. As a special perk to our loyal supporters (and to those who want to become loyal supporters :)) AND to commemorate FIVE years of serving families with children battling cancer, we are offering a ONE DAY SALE of $5 OFF registration fees on August 5th from 5 am - 5 pm. This makes our event the most affordable 5K event in town!!! (Kids only $5 each and adults $15 each - and that includes a T-shirt!). The coupon code is only valid on August 5, 2009 and only available to those who register online! Use code: HFC5K09
If you like the idea of saving $5 per entry fee... you will really like the idea of FREE ENTRY!!! That’s right! YOU AND YOUR FAMILY CAN RACE FOR FREE!!! When you register online, select the option to agree to raise $150 for Heroes for Children, and your entry fee is on us. (Each person must raise $150 minimum to receive free entry.) After you register for the race, set up your online fundraising page by clicking here and then selecting “become a fundraiser.” It is so easy to fundraise for an organization like Heroes for Children because we provide direct financial and social assistance to families with children battling cancer in Texas.
We are encouraging everyone to FORM A TEAM this year! You can create a team by clicking on "Create your Team" button on the online registration page. Set up your team early and then let everyone know you are recruiting teammates (also tell them about the FREE ENTRY and/or the $5 OFF entry and encourage them to sign up for your team online!)
Remember that we will have awards for biggest team and the top fundraising team! Good Luck!
The 5K and 1 mile fun run features a Children's Entertainment Area sponsored by Concote Corporation, Eddie Coker concert, and ribbons for kids who finish the 1 mile fun run or 5K event.
