“After this crazy COVID year, we’re all ready to have a little fun in the sun at this year’s Red Hot Chili Pepper 5K. Having an early morning race will help us beat the heat, sneak in a little exercise and support Family Promise in the process,” said Executive Director Katrina Bostick. “Every person who participates helps support our goal of eradicating homelessness in the communities we serve.”

While the race’s title sponsorship position is filled, area business owners are still encouraged to take part in and support the ninth annual 5K race as a platinum ($500+), gold ($350+), silver ($250+), or bronze ($150+) sponsor.

“It’s a great opportunity for businesses to be sure they’re represented on the day of the race,” Bostick added, “and our event truly couldn’t happen without the support of our region’s businesses.”

Along with our title sponsor, Canady’s Heating, Air and Plumbing, Family Promise expressed thanks to platinum sponsors, R.B. Baker Construction and Fish Tales at Ft. McAllister Marina; and silver sponsor, RE/MAX Accent.
