Rowlett tornado victims benefit from 5K

Feb. 20, 2016

5KJoin us for a pre-Easter 5K run to raise funds for the victims of the devastating, F4 tornado that hit Rowlett Dec. 26.

We are “Rowlett Strong” and we will rebuild even better than before. Proceeds will go to the Rebuild Rowlett Foundation for Long Term Relief, which is administered by the Rowlett Chamber of Commerce.  The percentage of funds placed in the foundation will be as high as possible after the event costs are deducted.

This 5K run will be sponsored by The Rebuild Rowlett 5K Organization and the Rockwall Running Center.
