From the Organizer
Join us in supporting local pediatric patients receiving care through the St. Jude Affiliate Clinic in Shreveport. This clinic, a partnership between St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Ochsner LSU Health–Feist Weiler Cancer Center, brings world‑class treatment to children and adolescents in Louisiana who are fighting cancer and blood disorders.
Proceeds from the event will help provide important non‑medical support to families, such as birthday celebrations during treatment, No Mo Chemo Parties, meals, snacks, comfort items for the clinic, gas cards, hotel expenses, etc.
Fun Run Starts at 4:30pm
5K Starts at 5:00pm
Awards Begin at 6:00pm
Worship Concert begins right after awards by 6:30pm
Join us by wearing your craziest socks as we celebrate and run!
The first $8,000 raised will directly support these ancillary needs at our local clinic. Any additional funds will benefit St. Jude Miracles on the Red, Shreveport’s annual fundraising event that honors local patient families and raises vital support for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
SLEEP-IN SUPPORTERS
Sign up then, come pick up a shirt during the two days of packet pick up at Run Wild then Sleep-in the day of the race! What a great way to support us, get a shirt to show it and then not run!
We will not hold shirts. Thank you for your understanding and most of all then you for supporting your local St. Jude affiliate!
There will be no refunds for this race. Our local St. Jude children THANK YOU for you HELP!
