The Marshall County Commissioners approved a request from Viki Brown from Dustin’s Place to hold the annual Join the Journey 5K and Family Fun Run fundraiser as it will utilize county roads.
The event will be held on Saturday, April 15th this year with a start time of 9 a.m. ET.
The event will be held at the Stockman Youth Center located at 11802 Lincoln Highway East where groups meet every other Monday evening.
Two officers who serve as reserves on the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department will provide the escort on Lincoln Highway and two off-duty officers who will provide assistance with traffic control in and out of the parking lot.
Individuals may register at www.dustinsplace.org/5kandFunRun. The registration fee is $30. Proceeds go to the mission and vision of Dustin’s Place which is to provide peer grief support groups for children, teens, and adults. In addition to the support center, Dustin’s Place provides community grief support groups for children throughout Marshall County at local schools and at a college campus. Dustin’s Place also spreads awareness of children’s grief through education, professional development and other community events.
More information about the organization can be obtained by emailing Brown at info@dustinsplace.org or by calling 574-259-0528. Brown offers training for individuals interested in volunteering.
