ONLY 2 DAYS until the TEch Theta Speak Up for Kids CASA 5k!

WOW- the 5K is sue coming quick. For those of you who have already registered don't forget that you can pick up your shirts and race numbers at the Starbucks on University and Glenna Goodacre. 

Now, I'm sure everyone is wondering why the race is called the Tech Theta Speak Up for Kids CASA 5K. Why Theta? CASA is the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority's national philanthropy.  Here in Lubbock, the Tech Thetas help out with promoting the race and getting runners. 

At the race you will notice that there will be a lot of Tech Thetas at the turn around on the 5K route- that's why!

Thank you Kappa Alpha Theta for all your help making this race a success.

The Tech Theta Speak Up for Kids CASA 5k is a fundraiser to raise money to support the volunteers who advocate for abused and neglected children of the South Plains. By participating in this event, you are making a difference in a childs life.

Currently, there are 255 kids in our area who is waiting for a CASA advocate to "speak up" for them in court. To represent these children we will have paper cut outs of kids lining part of the course - one for every child.

During this time, CASA also gives each kid being represented a new pair of shoes upon request. For some of these kids, this is despritely needed.

Make a difference today and join us at our Speak Up for Kids CASA 5k on April 16th! For just $20 you will have an afternoon of fun and help a child who needs it.

Registration can be done online at http://www.casaofthesouthplains.org/ under events.
