Samford’s Phi Mu sorority to host 5K for Children’s Hospital
Samford University’s chapter of Phi Mu will again host a 5K run to benefit Children’s of Alabama in downtown Birmingham.
In its 21st year, the run will take place in Homewood Central Park on Saturday, Nov. 14. Children’s of Alabama is a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, which is the national philanthropy of Phi Mu sorority.
Mary Gaither, who serves as philanthropy chair for the Samford chapter, said the group is fond of the event because of how it engages the community.
“This is one of our chapter’s favorite fundraisers because it is a great way to pull in the community and get all of the Birmingham area involved in supporting CMNH,” Gaither said.
Entry fees are $30 for adults, $20 for students and $15 for children and all who register will receive a T-shirt.
Entrants can register for the race online or from 7:15-7:45 a.m. on race day.
The race begins at 8 a.m., and trophies will be presented to the first place male and female runners at its conclusion.
