K-Rod 10K Run/5K Walk
5th Annual
Kalani Rodrigues Memorial Scholarship Run/Walk
September 27, 2009
About the Event
The K-Rod Run/Walk is a cause Kalani Rodrigues aspired to before his far too early and tragically unfortunate death due to brain cancer. Kalani was a 4.0 student and an award-winning track star at Clark College.
Please join us and run or walk in his memory while raising funds for the endowed scholarship in Kalani's name. The endowment funds scholarships for athletes attending Clark College in Vancouver, Washington, and more importantly, raises awareness for the treatment of brain cancer.
Clark College Penguin Athletic Club will host a post-event luau, open to all pre-registered participants (while supplies last). The luau will include food and beverages.
