Annual Glow Run returns to help children in need

Posted

The Aledo Children’s AdvoCats will host their 16th Annual Run, Walk, or Crawl Glow Run on Saturday, March 26, with proceeds benefiting Aledo ISD children in need and their families.

This family-friendly fun run offers racegoers the choice of a 1K or 5K race that begins and ends at Bearcat Stadium in Aledo. Light up gear will be provided on the night of the race to allow runners to cross the finish line glowing, not sweating. A virtual runner option is offered for those who just want to support the cause.

Since its inception in 2006, the Run, Walk or Crawl has become the flagship annual fundraising event for AdvoCats. Money raised from the race provides vital services to children with the greatest needs in the communities of Aledo ISD. The organization is dedicated more than ever to continue its mission of improving lives and making a lasting impact.

The Aledo Children’s AdvoCats is a women-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of volunteers serving families in the communities of Aledo ISD. An estimated 12.6% (or one in every eight students) of the Aledo ISD population is economically disadvantaged. School counselors at each of the 11 Aledo ISD campuses identify students in need of assistance and refer them to the AdvoCats organization.
