Despite the virtual nature of this year’s JASMYN 5K Strides for Pride run/walk, the LGBT community and allied supporters came out to support kids, teens, adults, families, gay and straight of all races and cultural backgrounds.
Runners and walkers of all fitness levels were challenged to raise funds on their own funds, by earning sponsorships from their peers and businesses. Race packages and pickups were made available at the event in Riverside Park April 24, where race entrants were welcome by the JU Cheer Squad as sponsors and volunteers handed out bags, swag, t-shirts, and medals along with a brief photo op.
Individuals was asked to create a fundraising page to support JASMYN through the event and teams were also able to raise funds, as the best team and best individuals collected prizes, any individual that raised over 250-dollars won a special, limited edition JASMYN mask.
This year, the organization kicked off a pet photo opportunity to showcase the area’s top dog in the Pets for Pride Photo Contest. The winning pet who gets the most votes online will be crowned as JASMYN’s animal mascot for the calendar year.
Information was unavailable by press time to announce winners, stay tuned for results in an upcoming issue of Resident News. Photos by danharrisphotoart.com.
