2nd Annual Kristen Grote Legacy 5K
May
13, 2006
The Kristen Grote Legacy 5K
honors the memory of Kristen, a fun-loving, vibrant little girl, who loved
Jesus and touched the lives of everyone who knew her.
Kristen's legacy will continue as the memory of her life is used to reach
out and enhance the lives of children in the community. Proceeds from this
event will be divided between the Kristen Grote Memorial Fund and another
child in the community.
The Kristen Grote Memorial Fund was established in August 2004 to honor
Kristen's memory and to positively impact the lives of children.
