CHARITY PARTNER

The mission of Operation Breakthrough is to help children who are living in poverty develop to their fullest potential by providing them a safe, loving and educational environment. Operation Breakthrough also strives to support and empower the children's families through advocacy, referral services and emergency aid. A portion of the proceeds from registration fees and 100% of meal ticket sales will be donated to Operation Breakthrough.

In addition, we ask each registrant to be a Santa and bring a $10 unopened, unwrapped toy to be given to local children at Operation Breakthrough. Each toy donor will receive a raffle ticket for each toy donated and the drawing for raffle prizes will take place after the race.
