How do YOU give back to your community?  Here's one way. 

I posted these two Raleigh, NC landmarks on Localism, and now I see in today's Raleigh News and Observer that they have been united as the terminus boundaries of a sophisticated and educational charitable fund-raising event.

The idea: Start at the NC State University Bell Tower:

bell tower

Run 2 miles to the Krispy Kreme Donut Shop on Person Street:

Wolf down a dozen glazed donuts and run back to the Bell Tower.  In less than an hour.  Without tossing your cookies.  (Good Pun, "cookies." Huh? Huh?)

"Krispy Kreme run is sweet charity"  from the N & O.  You may have to register(sorry, but it is simple, quick, and free.)

1300 participants.  "About $10,000 will be donated to the N.C. Children's Hospital."

I'm half-sick reading it, for a great cause...LOL

You tower looks similar to the some of the Bell Towers in Austin including the University of Texas Tower!

Danny,

NC State bathes their bell Tower in red light when the Wolfpack is victorious.

BUT....Do you have anything like the Krispy Kreme? =)

Well, not quite the same, but you have to admit it's pretty darn unique.

You know for the money going to the hospital, the fund raiser is not really a heathly challenge.  But I bet that I know where their next patients will be coming from. :)  "Last thing I remember is eating a dozen donuts and running back over to the campus. The rest of it is all fuzzy."

Eat the dozen donuts and run to the hospital instead of the tower.
