5K for Kelsey

The 5K for Kelsey Fun Run was created in honor of Kelsey Nalepa who was 8 years old when she was killed in a car accident involving a drunk driver.  We want to bring awareness to the impacts of drinking and driving while raising funds for the Kelsey Nalepa Scholarship.

Come join us for a 5K fun run, food trucks, silent auction, raffle, fun activities, and more!
