Looking for a healthy, family-friendly event that also benefits others?  Plan now to attend the RUN 4 SHELTER 5k, Fun Run and Virtual 5k on Saturday, November 5, 2016, at 9:00 a.m at Waterloo Lake Park in Denison, Tx.  Events are open to all ages, and Waterloo Lake Park is one of Denison's most popular.  The event is being coordinated by Grayson Shelter volunteers and the 5k, Fun Run and Virtual 5k are being professionally managed by Chip2Chip Race Timing.  All proceeds will benefit the Grayson County Shelter.  The Shelter is not affiliated with any government agency (Local, State or Federal) and relies on donations, grants and revenue from the resale shop, The Crowded Closet to cover all operating expenses.  

There will be 5k awards for top male and female finishers in several age categories.  Fun Run participants will each receive a finisher medal.  New for this type of event is the "Virtual 5k" where people from literally anywhere can sign up, complete their 5k at a location and time of their choosing by 11/5 and receive a finisher medal.  

In addition to the opportunity to participate in the events, the group is actively seeking sponsors to offset the associated costs.  There are four levels of sponsorship being offered:  

• Platinum ($1000, includes four 5k entries)
• Gold ($500, includes three 5k entries)
• Silver ($250, includes two 5k entries)
• Bronze.  ($100, includes one 5k entry)
