Again this year, staff, in conjunction with a group of community volunteers, are in the process of planning the 3rd Annual General Jog/#TeamCourtney 5K and Fun Run, on Saturday, March 19, 2016, from 9:00 a.m. to noon, at Washington Middle School.
This year's 3rd Annual General Jog has two fund raising goals. The first goal is to provide funds for West Aurora Middle School activities. The second goal is to establish a $1000 scholarship fund in the name of Courtney Adams, a middle school teacher and track coach who was seriously injured in a biking accident this past summer. This "#TeamCourtney PE Scholarship" will be awarded to a graduating senior this year at West Aurora High School. All proceeds above the $1000 will go to the middle schools.
There are a few great ways you or your business can be involved in this year’s 3rd AnnualGeneral Jog/#TeamCourtney Scholarship Fundraiser:
