Jog for Judah is free to participate in, but we encourage donations. Proceeds will go directly to the Castle family to help with the expenses of Judah's treatments. A portion of the proceeds will also be donated to Smile-A-Mile, a local nonprofit that supports families affected by childhood cancer. The American Red Cross will also be on-site hosting a blood drive, offering another way to give back. You can sign up for the blood drive HERE . If you have a Team Judah t-shirt from last year, we'd love for you to wear it! After the 5K, stick around! Ladybird Taco will be serving up delicious tacos, with a percentage of the sales benefiting the Castle family. Come run for a cause, grab some tacos, and show your support for Judah and his family! We can't wait to see you there!
