RUN WITH A HEART- SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 9:30 am
Register for the Run With a Heart event, a .55 Mile Fun Run to benefit our SONE athletes! The event will bring together the Creighton and Omaha communities in support of two meaningful causes: Nebraska Special Olympics and Women’s Heart Health. We are going to form a Tennis Buddies team of volunteers and athletes. Sign up below and let Nancy know that you plan to participate. Wear your TB teal shirt (short or long sleeve). If it is cold, wear your black TB hoodie over your top. If you do not have the shirts or the hoodie let Nancy know ASAP so that she can get you one. Also include you size.
Lace up your running shoes and help us make a difference. Every step counts when you’re running with heart.
Sign Up Now for the .55 k Fun Run. It is free to enter!

We will cover the cost for a Buddy plus one. You are welcome to purchase additional tickets at our pricing, paying Nancy for your additional guests ($23.53 per extra ticket). This year the tickets will be distributed digitally. When Nancy receives your order, she will submit your email to Vala's and they will send the number of tickets requested directly to your inbox.
