Valpo Hosts 5k to Benefit Children’s Miracle Network

Valparaiso University Dance Marathon will be hosting their annual “FT5K” on Saturday, which was rescheduled for October 26 at 9:00 am on campus. This year’s FT5K has a superhero theme. In order to register for the event, runners must go to the organization’s website at www.valpodm.com and access the FT5K tab.

The cost for participating in this year’s FT5K is $15. All proceeds collected help kids have the opportunity to have a healthy and happy childhood. Superheroes participating in the 5K will receive a t-shirt (while supplies last), snacks, and live music while enjoying the run.

The FT5K will be the first of a series of events leading up to the organization’s Dance Marathon. All funds raised from the 5K and every event sponsored by Valpo’s Dance Marathon will benefit the families of children receiving care at Ann and Robert H. Lurie’s Childrens Hospital of Chicago and the Children’s Miracle Network.

Valparaiso University Dance Marathon is an entirely student led organization at Valpo and for the past decade has raised money for children receiving care at Children’s Miracle Network hospitals. At this past year’s Dance Marathon, Valparaiso University raised over $70,000. Over the past seven years Valpo’s Dance Marathon has raised over a quarter of a million dollars for CMN.
