The Greater Tampa Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. is proud
to host our inaugural race: "Tutus & Tennis Shoes: Elevating ALL
Children". This 5K Run and 1 mile Fun Walk/Run will be held at the
historic Perry Harvey Sr. Park in Tampa, FL on Saturday February 29,
2020. The event will promote healthy living for families and
children in the Tampa Bay community. In addition to the run/walk, we
will have a Health Fair with vendor booths to conduct screenings and
provide educational information. There will be family-centered events
including music, entertainment, and a fun run just for the kids!
Following the race is a Black History Month Celebration highlighting
the African-American history of Tampa Bay. A portion of the
proceeds from the run will benefit the Jack and Jill of America
Foundation, the national organization's philanthropic arm. The
Foundation donates to national non-profit partners and also awards
grants to chapters of Jack and Jill to fund local efforts. The
remaining proceeds will be directly donated to Tampa-based charitable
organizations that serve children and families. Please join us for
this wholesome community event and support the efforts of the Greater
Tampa Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc in providing ALL
children with the opportunities and advantages we desire for our
children. It is essential that all of the children in the Tampa Bay
community have the opportunity to succeed! **If you would like to
identify yourself as running with a group or team (such as your
employer, social group, etc.) please use the "questions" section to
send us an email to create this group for you!**
