Purpose: The idea behind this race was to bring the community together, be outside and run in memory of Kaci.
Inspiration: Kaci herself never stopped! She was such a spirited girl that was constantly on the go trying to keep up with her older brothers and their friends.
❤️ Foundation Mission
Establishment: The Big Heart Big Smile Foundation was created by Kaci’s mom and dad (Joni and Boyd) to incorporate more activities to benefit the Monroe community and to keep their daughters name alive.
Participation: The Kaci 5K invites all families to run/walk with babies in strollers and dogs on leashes.
🎓 Scholarship Goals
Funding: All of the money raised for this event goes directly to a Monroe High School scholarship.
Future Planning: The goal is to keep this activity and scholarship going until Kaci would have graduated…2030.
Long-term Vision: Ultimately, the foundation wants to keep it going for many more years.
Event Date: The race will be held the first Sunday in May in Monroe.
