Geary Community Hospital is hosting their third annual run/walk called “Chase for a Cause,” Saturday, April 22, 9:00 a.m. Participants get to choose which approved local cause their registration funds go toward.

“We are looking forward to growing this event even bigger this year,” said Nikki Davies, GCH Marketing and Public Relations Director. “Last year we had almost 200 participants and raised $5,000 for organizations that serve our community in several ways. It’s a positive way to get everyone together, go for a walk or jog all while giving back to the great causes in our community.”

With participants choosing which approved local cause their funds go toward, it provides an opportunity for other organizations to benefit and receive funds that may not have the resources to host such an event.

There will also be a kids fun run, cash prizes for top three male and female finishers, masters (above age 40), medals for 5k winners in each age group along with door prizes. The race will start and finish in front of the hospital’s Surgical Center.

Approved local organizations include:

· Big Brothers / Big Sisters
· Boys and Girls Club
· Delivering Change: Healthy Moms – Healthy Babies
· Friends of the Animals
· Food Pantry
· Friends of the Dorothy Bramlage Public Library
· Geary Community Healthcare Foundation
· Geary Community Schools Foundation
· Junction City Family YMCA
· Junction City Fire Department Honor Guard
· Junction City Fire Department Luke David Nelson Memorial Scholarship
