We are gearing up for the 11th Annual Caring for Caryn's Kids 5K/1 Mile Fun Run!

CK5K is a race to honor Mrs. Caryn Hyatt-Suthoff, a former Dodge Elementary kindergarten teacher, who lost her battle with cancer. We have had an event each year in her honor. The funds raised will help offset higher education costs for one or more of her kindergarten students.

The event will feature a DJ, activities for kids, free food and beverages, as well as a chance to win our amazing door prizes! All of this for a great cause!
