Description
StrongWILL is a 501c3 organization that raises money for our LOCAL COMMUNITY to aid with substance abuse awareness, recovery, and support.
StrongWILL was founded by April and Nathan Brooks after the passing of April's brother, William West, of an overdose. We have a passion to help others who have struggled with addiction and have a desire to make an impact in our community.
Do you enjoy moving for a purpose and community empowerment? Please consider joining our run/walk event. Help us assist OUR community by making a difference together. This year commemorates 10 years since our inception. We are hoping to raise a total of $12,500 after costs which would put us at donating $100,000 to our community since 2015!
Don't want another event shirt? No problem- sign up for "No T-shirt" option in the 5k registration. It's just you, your bib, and your shoes hitting the pavement.
