The Annual Candy Corn (2020 Corn-Tine) Run to benefit The Guardian Center is coming up October 10th. Proceeds will benefit the children of Crawford, Edwards, Gallatin, Lawrence, Richland, Saline, Wabash, and White counties. The event will start and finish at the First Christian Church in Carmi with registration from 7-8 a.m. and the race at 8:15 a.m. Online registration is available through our website: www.theguardiancenter.org or https://runsignup.com/Race/IL/Carmi/CandyCorn5KRun.
The Guardian Center relies heavily on monetary donations and fundraising events to help keep our services free for children and families experiencing abuse. All 2020 events will be held with safety in mind with options for in-person or virtual participation. They take seriously the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and encourage all in-person participants to use caution and practice social distancing during this event. Hand sanitizer and masks will be available at the event.
They will have three levels of sponsorship as well as opportunities to help with items for participant bags, such as pens, magnets, water bottles, note pads, bottled water, and food items for the finish line. If your company would like to have their name placed on the event t-shirt, please have your sponsorship form returned by September 25th. A link and more information can be found on the Guardian Center Facebook page.
