Do you like to run? How about helping cute kids? Ice cream? Jimmy John's? Fun things? If you answered yes to any one of these, then you should click on this link right now and sign up for Alpha Omicron Pi's Run for the Roses on March 19th.
What is Run for the Roses you ask? Only the most fun 5k race in the world! Here are a few reasons why....
Help raise money for the Arthritis Foundation!
All year, the ladies of Alpha Omicron Pi raise money for the Arthritis Foundation. Run for the Roses is their biggest philanthropic event! Last year, the run raised $20,000. The money they raise goes specifically toward the Juvenile Arthritis research. Old people are not the only ones affected by arthritis. 300,000 kids in the US have arthritis, causing them pain in their joints and restricting them from participating in typical childhood activities like sports. Come out and support this worthy cause.
It's a color run!As you run, walk, or jog the 5k, participants are given the opportunity to make it a colorful experience! In the color run section of the course, runners are sprayed with color. Color run section is optional. At the end of the race, awards are presented to the top male and female runners of each age group!
Jimmy John's lunch!Each ticket includes lunch from Jimmy John's. After the race, relax with your friends and eat yummy subs.

A bounce house. I mean everyone knows that anywhere there's a bounce house there is bound to be crazy amounts of fun.
