Highbrook Rotary's Fun Run brings the community together


 

The “Fun Run” fundraising project achieved all its goals by bringing business together to help its community in a fundraising venture,  and to get to know each other better and support local business in this newly business park, $9,000 was raised.


Over 45 businesses contributed to the charity fundraiser’s success donating time prizes, food, water and help on the day. 320 local business employees participated in the  10k, 5k runs and 5k and walk, and many have asked that it be an annual event and open to their families as well;  which is now already being planned for next year.
