Community Invited To Heart Of A Bulldog Fun Run To Kick-Off Boiling Springs Charity Week

BOILING SPRINGS, SC - On Saturday March 26th the Boiling Springs community is invited to help Boiling Springs High School kick off their charity week with the Heart of a Bulldog Fun Run, as proceeds will go to the Kolson Elliot Heart of a Bulldog Memorial Scholarship fund.

The Kolson Elliot Heart of a Bulldog Memorial Scholarship, named after former Boiling Springs student athlete Kolson Elliot who passed away last year, is a one-time scholarship that is awarded to a male and female athlete at Boiling Springs High School to their chosen college or university.

The fun run will have three different race divisions broken into a 13-years-old and older division, a 12-year-old and younger division, as well as a Family Run/Walk division. There will be a prize for the winners of each division as the first race will start at 9:00 AM, followed by the second race at 9:15 AM, and the final race will start at approximately 9:30 AM. Snacks and drinks will be available at the event as well.

T-shirts supporting the event will be available for pre-purchase at the high school from Wednesday March 23rd through Friday March 25th for $15 each and will be available for purchase prior to the event on Saturday while supplies last.
