Each person's name you select to honor will be printed on a butterfly that will line the 10K or 2-Mile Courses and a duplicate butterfly will be displayed near the Grand Theatre area. We are challenging each runner to sell 10 butterflies because the more butterflies we sell, the greater the gift we can pass along to those families challenged by this disease!! Each runner who sells 10 butterflies will get his/her name in a drawing. You can purchase during registration or by clicking the "product" button. |
