3rd Annual Silver Mile was a huge success in engaging thousands
of students, their families, and community members in a
multi-faceted, family-friendly health and fitness event. The
Foundation’s investment to purchase a specially designed
curriculum, taught in all P-H-M schools for four weeks prior to
the event, prepared students to participate in the 5K Run for
Education and 1Mile Fun Walk and taught the benefits of healthy
choices and exercise. Of the 1,076 participants, many were
students participating in a 5K or 1Mile for the first time!
In addition, thousands participated in the hands-on, interactive health and fitness activities offered by title sponsors Memorial’s HealthWorks! Kids Museum and Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center and other health and fitness related organizations. Each year the Silver Mile just gets bigger and better! Thanks to the hundreds of volunteers, sponsors, and community members for making the event such a success!
