2013 Grow &
Go SUCCESS!
The IAA Foundation held its 3rd annual 5K Grow & Go
on Saturday, May 11, 2013. This family
friendly event not only raises funds for Illinois
Agriculture in the Classroom, but also raises awareness
with consumers about the important role of agriculture
and the family farms that put food on our table.
Over 360 runners, walkers, kids’ dashers, families
and volunteers gathered at the Illinois Farm Bureau,
COUNTRY Financial, and GROWMARK headquarters in
Bloomington, IL, for a great day of fun and fellowship.
After the kids Cock-a-Doodle Dash, the 5K Run and 1
Mile Walk, participants gathered for an open house that
included a hot breakfast, learning activities for the
kids, and even free massages! The morning
culminated with presentation of the coveted tractor
awards, given for 1st and 2nd place in 5 year age
categories.
The IAA Foundation is on track to
raise $15,000 from this event, thanks to generous
sponsors and event participants. We are pleased to
present this event and glad to hear so much positive
feedback about the experience!
