The 5K and 10K “Run for A Child” was created to let families know that the Shriners are active in Central Oregon in the hopes of finding more local children who could benefit from the services the Shriners Hospital for Children-Portland provide. This is a “Shriners Day in Central Oregon” where families could come, participate in a run/walk for an outstanding cause, and then enjoy a BBQ hosted by the Central Oregon Shriner Club. Booths from sponsors will be set up, along with kid’s activities, a beer garden, prizes and a silent auction to round out a complete morning of family fun. The event is a benefit for Shriner Hospitals for Children, which serves medically needy children regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
