Who We Are:
Parents for Centralia Cross Country is a Non-Profit organization that was formed in 2002. We raise funds to support the needs of the Centralia Cross Country teams and promote sportsmanship throughout the 2-A Evergreen Conference. This year is the 6th Annual Matchmaker 5K Run, which expanded to include a Walk in 2005. The Matchmaker 5K Run/Walk is our major fund-raiser for the year. This year we are having a food drive along with the Run and Walk; read about the details below.
The Walk/Food Drive:
The walk was added in 2005 to get more people to participate in this event and provide a healthy avenue of participation for those that would like to contribute to a worthwhile charity. In the past we have supported the American Red Cross, The Conservation Fund and local food banks with the Walk. Last year TransAlta, our areas largest employer suddenly closed their coal mining operation eliminating 600 well paying jobs. This year it is the December flood that has devestated the local area so we are again including a Food Drive with the Matchmaker and we strongly encourage Runners and Walkers to bring non-perishable items we can donate to families in need. We will be targeting running families affected by the flood in Centralia, Chehalis and the surrounding area. Whatever you can do will be much appreciated!
Thanks!
