Vermont Business Magazine The 5th Annual Ri Ra 5K Santa Run presented by New England Federal Credit Union to support Camp Ta-Kum-Ta will be held on Sunday, December 6, 2015. The race starts outside of Ri Ra Irish Pub on Church Street at 10 am and concludes back in front of Ri Ra Irish Pub. The Ri Ra Santa 5k run returns to Burlington, VT again this year after proving to be a big hit the last four years for the community. Runners from all over New England and Canada will join in on the fun. All race participants receive a Santa suit to be worn during the event and to keep. Plus FREE, full hot breakfast for all participants after the race courtesy of Ri Ra Irish Pub.
Runners are encouraged to collect pledges in support of their run for Camp Ta-Kum-Ta! The runners who raises the most money will receive a gift certificate to Von Bargen’s Jewelry. Donations are accepted online and on race day. Every donation helps Camp Ta-Kum-Ta give a child those most precious gifts: fun, joyful memories and the freedom to be a kid.
“The Ri Ra Santa 5k is a fun way to bring the community together to celebrate the holidays, promote health & wellness and support Camp Ta-Kum-Ta” said Hattie Johnson, Acting Executive Director at Camp Ta-Kum-Ta.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit Camp Ta-Kum-Ta, a nonprofit organization established in 1984. Camp Ta-Kum-Ta provides a safe, loving place where children from Vermont and New York who have, or have had cancer can play, swim, share, and heal. In short, Camp T-K-T is where kids go to reclaim a childhood robbed by cancer. Until there’s a Cure….There’s a Camp!
