Polar Run, Walk-A-Thon Set For Saturday At Tate High

February 11, 2016

The “Polar Run” is set for Saturday at Pete Gindl Stadium at Tate High School.

The event is  a fun and fit activity for students and supporters, with all participants striving to achieve their personal best distance.  Participants will set realistic lap goals based on age and development, while helping to meet a  $1,000 donation to the Leukemia/ Lymphoma society by encouraging participants to get sponsors for the distance they believe they will walk or run.  Registration will start at 9:30, and the laps will begin at 10:00.

There will be several other activities occurring during the Polar Run. Maverick, from the Ice Flyers, will be there at 10:00; the OneBlood Big Red Bus will be onsite so those interested can give blood to support community needs; those interested in fostering or adopting a new pet can visit with representatives from the Pensacola Humane Society who will be on site to answer questions and introduce some adorable animals in need of a forever home; and free blood pressure checks will be offered.

In addition, a silent auction will start at 10:30 a.m., with winners announced at noon. There will be games, food, music, and activities to enjoy as auction participants await results.
