We encourage you to assemble a team with co-workers, family, or friends and register to participate at oldbills.org. Race for the answers to win a grant for your favorite nonprofit. $5,000 in grants will be awarded! Clues will be emailed to each registered team at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11, posted online at oldbills.org, and available to pick up on the Community Foundation front porch (245 E Simpson Ave). Answers must be turned in by 12pm on Sept. 11 on the Community Foundation front porch to qualify for a raffle and winning grants.
Virtual 5K: Anytime, Anywhere
Community members are encouraged to independently run, walk, hike or bike 5K anytime and anyplace on Saturday, Sept. 11. A variety of 5K route ideas are available for download at oldbills.org.
