Pant for the Pantry - Sunday, October 23rd

Our first-ever Pant for the Pantry 5K to support the New Lenox Township Food Pantry was amazing -- our goal was to have at least 150 runners and walkers - and we had 301!  The help and support we received from community members and local businesses, along with our own hard-working staff led by race director Gloria Olson,  allowed us to present the New Lenox Food Pantry with a truckload of donated food and a check for $$10,000.00.  We plan to make our 5k an annual event!
