UPDATE!! October 25, 2024: The Fun Run was a runaway SUCCESS! Raised $3,000 for our Humane Society Animal Shelter and our Youth Benefit organizations. Many thanks to all who made it so, especially the Port Townsend Golf Course who freely loaned us our “race” course!
Sunday, September 29, 12:00 p.m.
Join this Easygoing “race,” (“A Run for the Rest of Us”) at the Port Townsend Golf Course. (1948 Blaine Street.)
Good-natured hi-jinks start at high noon, (including a BuVu Priest taking Canine Confessions! Maybe even a Doggy Kissing Booth!).
The “runners” begin at the launch pad for the Driving Range. They will head for the 250 yard flag. When they get there, no doubt exhausted, we will have cookies and other non-alcoholic goodies to restore their joie de vivre. Then, rounding the flag, they’ll head back for the Clubhouse. WE’RE TALKING 500 YARDS!
This event, produced by The Humane Society of Jefferson County and the Church of BuVu of Port Townsend, supports several Jefferson County non-profit organizations that support beasts and children, to wit:
The Humane Society of Jefferson County, the YMCA “Building Futures” Program, AEF (Applied Education Foundation,) devoted to offering kids participation in S.T.E.A.M. Projects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), Kicks for Kids (Shoes!) Maybe more, depending on how many “racers” show up.
Parents, children, and pets (on leash, please; the pets, not necessarily the kids) are invited to start lining up at the Clubhouse, a half-hour prior to the 12:30 p.m. start time.
The $40 donation covers race entry, drawing for a chance to win a t-shirt, cookies and other refreshment at the mid-way point, and the aforementioned hi-jinks (another word for entertainment, but shorter.) Plus, there will be goofy prizes at the finish line. There is no charge for children and pets, and costumes are encouraged.
If you’d like to Bless the Beasts and Children, but only “run” the “race” in your imagination, from your favorite end of the couch, there’s a $20 ticket for that.
