BRIMFIELD, Ill. – Whitney’s Walk, a 5K event that’s held the last Saturday in July at Jubilee College State Park, is back this weekend.
Carle Health’s Nicole Hayse, from the Center for Philanthropy, says it’s their 22nd year sponsoring the event.
“It helps to raise awareness and funding to provide prevention initiatives in the Greater Peoria area, for suicide prevention,” Hayse says.
Whitney’s Walk was started by the family and friends of Whitney Grotts, who died in 2004, at the age of 16.
You can register to run or walk up to race time Saturday morning. The first walk starts at 7:55 a.m., and the first run starts at 8:00.
