Proceeds from the event will benefit the George Butler Memorial Food Pantry and the Loads of Love Laundry ministry. Both ministries are staffed by community volunteers and are based at the Newbern Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Participants are asked to bring canned goods and laundry pods to support the pantry and laundry ministry on the day of the event.
Registration fees listed for the event include a $20 fee for the 5K, and $15 fees for the Morning Mile and the Health Walk. An event T-shirt is available for purchase for $15.
