From the Organizer
The JFS/MCTS Alumni Association is a 501c3 organization. The Association promotes a meaningful dialogue and exchange of ideas between the J. F. Shields High School and its Alumni. These include providing information about the school to alumni, encouraging and supporting educational relationships with alumni, sponsoring a variety of activities of interest to alumni and providing alumni with opportunities for service at J. F. Shields. Through this walk, we seek to raise funds for the JFS/MCTS Alumni Association to be able to provide scholarships to graduating Seniors of J.F. Shields High School. We seek to bring together individuals and businesses to benefit the school and community as a whole. This walk will bring back alumni to our town of Beatrice, AL and give us a chance to once again walk through our beautiful town that we call home. All of the proceeds from this 5K will go towards supporting the scholarship program.
