All of the proceeds from the event go to the ABC Education Foundation to support all of their programs and projects that help ensure that all ABC students and schools within the district succeed. 

The Foundation is committed to supporting the District’s wellness initiative to promote health and community wellness. If runners register a team for an ABC school, $5 from each 5K Participant or $2 for each 2K Participant goes directly to that ABC school.

The ABC Education Foundation was founded in February 2012 with the intention of supporting district programs in jeopardy due to all-familiar budget cuts and to provide financial assistance for the schools of ABC in order to maintain consistently high-quality educational opportunities for the children of the communities served.
