Tap Room Gaming Co-Sponsors Superhero Themed 5K to Benefit Seniors
Waukegan - Tap Room Gaming is co-sponsoring Waukegan Township's Superhero 5K and 1 Mile Kids Fun Run. The event will take place on Saturday, September 22. All proceeds from the event will go directly to funding services for seniors.
Organizers of the race are encouraging participants to dress up as their favorite superhero, and are expecting several hundred people to turn out. Participants are not required to run, but the first place finisher in each category will receive a medal. Awards will also be given to those who have the best superhero costumes.
The Waukegan Township provides a number of different services to local seniors, including medical transportation, preventive health services, wellness programs, lifelong learning opportunities, recreational programs, and lawn and snow maintenance services. The Township is also a resource for non-senior specific programs as well, such as voter registration projects, the Coalition to Reduce Recidivism, Art Mobile, and the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Tour.
"Many people don't realize just how many vital services that the Waukegan Township provides," said Township Supervisor Patricia Jones. "It is important for us to have strong partners in the community who are committed to helping us bring these important services to the Waukegan community. We are thankful for Tap Room Gaming's Support."
