Build my planJoin us on Saturday, September 19th at Coffee Creek Preserve in Chesterton, IN, for the third annual CKF 5K for Life. This year, we also have a virtual option in case you are not local to the Chesterton area! We will bring the community together to share the message of organ, eye, and tissue donation and show the world what a transplant makes possible.
Currently, in the United States over 103,000 individuals are awaiting life-saving transplant, and only 44% of Americans sign up to help them, while 93% say they agree with organ donation. CKF aims to educate and inspire individuals to make a difference and register as organ, eye, and tissue donors. We welcome everyone to participate in our 5K, whether you have a connection to donation and transplant, or want to get out and be active. This event is for all ages and abilities. You can walk or run the race, whichever you are comfortable with. We will have music, local vendors, and more, and all racers will receive a T-shirt, so make sure you sign up today! Registration is $20 for adults and $15 for kids (under 12).
Registration will open at 9 am, and the race will begin at 10:30 am!
You can register as an individual or as a team. If you cannot attend person but would like to support CKF, donate to a racer specifically, or generally to CKF through the donate button!
