My Kind of Fundraiser



May 4, 2018


In “Here’s How I Do Marathons” (March 2, 2018) I asked why nobody has “Read Novels and Eat Bonbons” fundraisers, instead of torturing participants with marathons and stair walking and other physically demanding ventures.

Well, here’s one that’s in the same spirit: The town of Boerne, Texas is holding a .5K run (yes, that's 1/2 K). It starts at one brewery and ends at another, with a doughnut station about 150 meters in. And if you don't feel like walking, you can pay $25 and be driven across the finish line. It got such a great response that the organizers stopped accepting entries.

Now THAT’S what I’m talking about.
