The Boys & Girls Clubs of Inland Valley had a great time hosting its 1st Annual Family 5K this past Saturday, May 21! This was an exciting event that brought together over 70 runners and walkers at the Lake Perris Dam. This event was made possible by our sponsors, participating runners/walkers, staff, Board of Directors and volunteers. Together we raised over $15,000!

City of Perris Mayor Vargas counted down participants at the start line! The top three finishers over 18 were Megan H., Natalie H., and Moses V. The top finisher under 18 years old was our very own Perris Club member Kaiden L.! Zeus won a medal for the fastest dog!

Thank you to our sponsors: Brookfield Properties, Dr. Gary Cringan, Howard Industrial Partners, Evans Brown Mortuary, Mercato Del Sole, Rady Children's Hospital, Richland Communities, A Better Look Home Inspections, Abbott Vascular, John and Lynda Tribelhorn, Epic Dog Academy, City of Menifee, and West Coast Dental.

Thank you to the following people/businesses who helped provide swag and other resources for our 5K: Sizzler, Eastern Municipal Water District, True Care, Luis Hutchins and Starbucks!

The funds raised from this event are crucial in providing youth with a safe place to go this summer to participate in health and wellness programs, enrichment programs and more!
