Following the 5K Run, a @K Family Fun Run/Walk was held, sponsored by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.  The money raised from the Walk registrations will be sent to the Honor Flight Northwest Ohio.  Honor Flight Northwest Ohio is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization formed in 2007 to send the veterans of Northwest Ohio to Washington, DC to see the memorials built to honor their service. To date, 859 veterans have safely flown on 22 flights to see their memorials.

The Van Wert Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, organizers of the Run and Walk, would like to thank all our sponsors and all those who participated.  The event will be held next year on Saturday, June 1.
