Costume Contest: Runners, walkers, sponsors and volunteers are strongly encouraged to participate dressed as their favorite stage or film star. Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes. Rumor has it that Audrey Hepburn, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and Jane Fonda are set to make an appearance.
Food: After you’ve worked up a thirst and an appetite, Gatti’s Pizza will serve fresh pizza to everyone and Steaz will provide the beverages! Plus, plenty of Crystal Gyser bottled water will be available to keep you hydrated.
Cause: The Paramount Theatre brings more than 10,000 area youths to the Theatre each year as part of our youth outreach program. Many of those children gain admission for free and would otherwise be unable to attend the Theatre. Your registration helps us provide this and other services to our community.
