2nd Annual Avalaunch Gives Back 5k and Family Fun Run

Water For Life Charity is happy to announce we will be partnering with Avalaunch Media for our annual “Avalaunch Media Gives Back 5k and Family Fun Run”! 

This will be the event’s 2nd year, with just as much (if not more!) fun-filled activities for participants. This event will take place on Saturday, October 29th, at Wheeler Historic Farm in Salt Lake City Utah. Wheeler Farm has a USATF certified 5k route which will be utilized for the race.

Just like last year, this event will be an activity for all ages, and all proceeds will be benefiting the work done here at Water For Life Charity. For those who compete on behalf of Water For Life, that money will be used to help provide safe, clean drinking water to people in need around the world. You can read more about the work being done in a recent blog post here.

This year we have many wonderful sponsors to fund this event. The headline sponsor is Avalaunch Media, who is in charge of organizing sponsors and arranging the venue. As a digital marketing agency, their company specializes in all types of marketing and design for their clients.
