On August 15th the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence is sponsoring 5K Run/Walk on the campus of IUPUI. The Whitestown Police Department is entering a team in the event and would like to invite you to join us as we run/walk to raise awareness about this issue and as we remember Beth Stayer who died in our community at the hands of her husband. To join our team, go to the ICADV website (www.violenceresouce.org) and click on the link to the event. On-line registration is $20 per person, and includes an official race t-shirt. When you register, indicate that you are registering as part of team, and you will be give an option to choose which team. Ours is listed as "Whitestown Police Department and Friends". Each participant is also given a choice as to whether he/she would like to participate competitively or for fun. We have people on our team doing both, so it's really your personal choice. Also, if you prefer to register by mail and pay your fee by check rather than credit card, there is a downloadable registration form available on the website. We also have a team fundraising website available, so even if you can't join us for the event, you can participate by sponsoring us. Please visit us at http://www.firstgiving.com/WhitestownPoliceDepartment where you can make your contributions. We have set an aggressive goal of $5000, so every dollar will help. We would love our "small town" police department to win the prize for the largest team entered in the event, so please consider taking a walk/run with us bright and early Saturday, August 15th. One last note, we are also planning to wear matching team shirts, which are currently being designed. Please let Chaplain Thorn know ASAP that you are planning to partcipate so we can make sure to have enough team shirts ordered. Any questions, please contact the team captain, Chaplain Terri Thorn at 317-670-1150 or via email at tthorn@whitestown.in.gov |
