Heart rates and vital funds will be raised at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital's 24th annual "Run for the Health of It" 5-K Run and Walk on Saturday, September 27, 2008.
Last year, more than 1,000 "Run for the Health of It!" participants and sponsors raised close to $40,000 net for Henry Mayo.
"This is such a great event for the hospital because it serves two purposes - promoting exercise and healthy lifestyle habits, as well as raising funds for patient care services," said Henry Mayo Foundation president Diana Vose.
Participants will walk or run the 5K route, beginning at the hospital campus and ending at the United Methodist Church located across from Henry Mayo, beginning at 8:30 a.m. The event will also include a 1-K "Kiddie K" for children under 10 years of age beginning at 8:15 a.m.
"Run for the Health of It!" registration opens at 7 a.m. in the hospital parking lot, with the run scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. Top finishers, by age category, will be announced and presented with an award immediately following the run.
Sponsors are invited to participate, with opportunities ranging from $250 to a $15,000 title sponsorship. Sponsors at the Investor level or above will have their name/logo displayed on 30,000 registration invitation flyers, while Executive and Title sponsors will be recognized on all banners, ads, t-shirts, and correspondence
