Abstract

Carly Brandenburg and Jennifer Pollack organized a charity run to benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Muncie on September 22, 2007. Organizing the event included obtaining sponsorships, reserving venues and equipment, obtaining legal permission, and promoting the event on Ball State University campus and in the Muncie community. The event featured a free concert by Midwest Hype and free food and door prizes for all participants. The charity event consisted of a 5K run/walk and a one mile fun run. The event raised more than $700 for the Boys and Girls Club of Muncie. The report consists of the process of organizing the event, examples of promotional material, newspaper articles, pictures of the event, and future recommendations for organizing the same charity run in the future.
