Run for a Child in the Gator Bowl VyStar 5K Run
Participants in the VyStar 5K Run can make a $10 donation to Wolfson Children’s Hospital and receive a red arm band bearing the name of a child who is a patient. Once donors cross the finish line of the 5K Run, each will take pride knowing that every step they ran helped toward raising funds to care for sick and injured children.
