Good, Better, Best 5K is a running race on April 17, 2027 in Columbus, IN, with an entry fee of $20.
THE CAUSE – Near the conclusion of each school year, the Bartholomew Consolidated School Foundation (BCSF) acknowledges a deserving educator from the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation (BCSC). The “Good, Better, Best” recognition – awarded in honor of two BCSC Hall of Fame, long-time educators (Ross Wallace and Chuck Grimes) – goes to a BCSC employee that has gone “above and beyond” and “outside the box” in their passionate attempt to make education as positive and memorable of an experience as possible for the students they serve. Our hope is that proceeds from this race will continue to pay tribute to the legacy of not only Mr. Wallace/Mr. Grimes and this award’s recipients, but also draw attention to deserving educators everywhere for a long time to come.
