Mud Run
The second annual Marine Mud Challenge is Aug. 2 at Belmont Abbey College.
This hardcore physical fitness challenge will be held 7 a.m.-noon and serve as a great team-building and fun activity. But more importantly, it is a fundraiser for the families of combat-injured marines, sailors and the families of local marines. One-hundred percent of the tax-deductible funds raised are donated to the cause.
Organizers are seeking sponsorships, donations, in-kind support and teams for this event. Sponsoring a military team costs $60. Sponsoring a public safety team costs $80.
For more information on the event, contact Aaron Harper by e-mail at president@carolinamarines.org or by telephone at (919) 272-4461.
