The rain didn’t slow us down! The first annual Davidson Cares’ 5k & Kid’s Fun Run took place Saturday, February 8th in World Golf Village and even though the weather did not cooperate with us, we still had close to 100 runners and walkers come out to support our local neighborhood schools. We had great kid’s activities happening from 10 am to 2 pm, including giant hamster balls on a racing track, laser tag, face painting, air tattoos, and more. And, Arthur Crofton from Lite 96.1 WEJZ’s morning show came out to draw the winner for the Davidson Cares’ $2500 Vacation Raffle – Congratulations to Dennis Ryan and thank you to Arthur!

Ultimate Racing, Inc. did an exceptional job hosting the race in the center of the Village and we had close to 20 volunteers that braved the rain to support a great cause. A big thank you to Title Sponsor Mile Marker Brewing for all their support of Davidson Cares and for bringing out a variety of beers for the race! We also want to thank S.O.S Diner for donating 50% of their food and drink proceeds to Davidson Cares. We have some amazing local community supporters!

We hope you enjoy the video of some of the fun we had at the race! The Kid’s Fun Run was the absolute cutest thing ever. We are still calculating the proceeds, but we are looking forward to giving big checks to Wards Creek Elementary, Mill Creek Elementary, Palencia Elementary and Pacetti Bay Middle School in April.

You can support our schools by visiting www.davidsoncares.com and voting for each school’s best video grant idea. Each school will have one winning video that will receive $1,000 and the remainder of the money will be distributed to the four schools based on total school votes. You can also donate to the schools on the website!
