Be a kid at heart again and join Kelowna's first Run in Colour!
PRESS RELEASE KELOWNA, BC - August 21,2013 -
Kelowna's inaugural Grant Thornton 5K Run in Colour on behalf of Kelowna General Hospital Foundation (KGH Foundation) takes place on September 21 starting at Waterfront Park. It is a great opportunity for young and old to be kids at heart again! And Kelowna's Twin Creek Media has taken this challenge seriously by supporting their staff and families to participate. "We are really excited for the 5K Run in Colour for KGH - we're sponsoring our staff and their families for this fun event because of the positive healthcare impact it will have for Kelowna residents for years to come," says creative director, James Shaw, who along with his wife and kids who are 9 and 7 will be out together in a no-holds-barred running paint war.
"To be totally honest, the kids think it's so cool to throw paint at each other that they'd raise all the money themselves to participate! So we thought whatever amount of money the staff and kids can raise themselves, Twin Creek Media will match. We challenge other Kelowna businesses to do the same! Let's support the KGH Foundation's goal of attracting 1,000 participants on this first run!"
