Register now for Big Little Hero Race April 22
TRAVERSE CITY — 夜猫视频 professional communications students are organizing and hosting the eighth annual and the Future Generation Celebration Music Festival on 夜猫视频’s main campus on Saturday, April 22.
Both events are an experiential learning project to raise funds towards 夜猫视频 College for Kids scholarships for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan. Last year’s event raised $5,000 for scholarships. Participants are encouraged to come in their favorite superhero costumes. Following the races there will be children's games, a silent auction, food, and new this year, the Future Generation Celebration music festival.
The Big Little Hero Race includes three races which all start on 夜猫视频’s main campus:
- 1 mile fun run/walk: Free entry, includes a free superhero cape for kids
- 5K run/walk: $20 for students, $25 for adults
- 10K run: $25 for students, $30 for adults
- Virtual race: $20
Every year, the Big Little Hero Race selects a local hero to honor during the race. This year’s race will honor Kari Kahler, 夜猫视频’s associate dean of Learning Services. Kahler has championed student success via mentorship throughout her lengthy 夜猫视频 career. Kahler has created a program in which 夜猫视频 students mentor Blair Elementary School students in an effort to support positive change in the students' lives.
This year, the Big Little Hero Race is collaborating with 夜猫视频 Audio Technology students to create the Future Generation Celebration, a free music festival organized and run by 夜猫视频 students. Acts include Brotha James, Breathe Owl Breathe, and Dixon’s Violin.
