The 6th Annual Grant
Wheeler Memorial 5K Run/Walk will be held
Saturday October 20, 2007. Thanks to excellent community support, generous
sponsors, and Grant’s legacy of love, more that $73,000 has been
raised since this race began. Since 2003, all proceeds have benefited
an Endowment Fund in honor of Grant. This Fund awards scholarships
annually to area senior cross country runners who display Grant’s
positive characteristics of faith, encouragement, character and love.
The race committee has awarded 16 scholarships since 2004. Your participation
will help us increase the number and value of the scholarships awarded.
We congratulate the 2007 Grant Wheeler Memorial scholarship winners!

make this year even better by ensuring that Grant's legacy of loving
and encouraging
others
never dies!
