An Independence running group receives a microgrant from the Community Foundation for Independence.

 

The Foundation has announced that Run 4 Fun Indy will receive $500 to assist with the purchase of running shoes and other essential supplies. Run 4 Fun Indy is a group that encourages local youth to build confidence, stay active, and develop lifelong healthy habits through its after-school running program for students in kindergarten through 6th grade. The program sponsors programs like the annual Saturday In The Park 5K, Fun Run, and Tot Trot. The group works to create opportunities for families, runners, and volunteers of all ages to celebrate fitness together.

 

The Community Foundation for Independence connects donors and organizations to support projects to improve the quality of life in Independence and other surrounding communities.
