A McHenry Community High School student and band member is organizing a 5K run on Aug. 9 to raise money and awareness for the school’s band program.
Ethan Zander created the Band on the Run event as part of his Eagle Scout project with Scout Troop 131. It features a course entirely on McHenry High School Upper Campus property, and kicks off at 11 a.m. Aug. 9.
The $25 entry fee per person goes directly to MCHS students who need financial help to participate in the band program. They are also looking for sponsorships from businesses or organizations.
The goal is to have 100 runners participate. Visit the event website to register.
Those who don’t want to participate but would like to donate to the cause can send checks to Troop 131 Zander Eagle, 3717 Main St., McHenry, IL, 60050. Checks should be made payable to Troop 131.
