October 20th, 2018 was a special day to celebrate the 15th Annual Ivory Crocket Run for Webster. As always, all the participants and volunteers made for a FANTASTIC community event. From the 5K through the beautiful streets of Webster Groves, to the 1 mile fun run and walk that brought families together, and the signature 100 Yard Dash with its endless smiles, the morning was a huge success.
The raced kicked off with words from Ivory Crockett, the fastest man in the world, (read more about his story here) and then the runners and walkers were on their way!
As finishers completed the run, participants came together inside the high school at the Pancake Breakfast and Kids Activities Fair. Chris’ Cakes outperformed again and served THOUSANDS of pancakes to hungry families. And while the parents waited in the line, the little kids kept busy with the Kids Activity Fair hosted by the Child Development Department at WGHS. Arts and crafts, sticky fingers, full bellies and lot of smiles filled the inside of WGHS!
One of the biggest highlights of the morning was the much anticipated 100 yard dash. Up first were the pre k runners, and followed was each grade through 6th grade. These kids were so fast! and they were all awarded medals at the finish line!
The money raised during this fun community event helps the Webster Groves School District Foundation carry out its mission of expanding learning opportunities for the students of the district. In addition to providing students and teachers with innovative new curriculum, materials and experiences, the Foundation uses proceeds from the Run for Webster to award annual Ivory Crockett Scholarships to several graduating seniors who are entering college in health-related fields.
The Ivory Crockett Run for Webster continues to be one of the best community events in Webster Groves. Evident by the WGHS Band, WGHS Cheerleaders, WGFD Fire Truck, WG Mayor Gerry Welch, WGSD Student Singers, WGSD Administration, Adult and Student Volunteers and Community Sponsors. Without all this support, none of this could take place. Thank you Webster Groves! We can’t wait to see you next year, October 19th, 2019 at the start line!
