Mark your calendars now for Saturday, April 22, as a great day to help meet the needs of foster children in Watauga County while having a good time doing so.
Thanks to the efforts of App State’s chapter of the Order of Omega Honorary Society, the inaugural 5K for The Kids will take place in Boone from 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. at the Greenway, 244 Intramural Field off State Farm Road.
Speaking for the society, Vice-president Kasey Clift shared, “Order of Omega is an honors and leadership society for members of fraternity and sorority life. We have chosen Watauga County Department of Social Services as our philanthropy partner, and we are so excited to host our first-ever 5K walk/run race for their foster care program.”
The agency, as a whole, is dedicated to helping citizens (in need) to meet their basic financial and social needs; to providing a safety net for children, the disabled, the elderly, and the poor; to maintaining the integrity of families; and to helping individuals become self–sufficient.
