This is the inaugural year of the Ian Lewis Memorial 5K. Held at beautiful E Carroll Joyner Park in Wake Forest, we are gathering to have fun, get some exercise and raise money for the Ian Lewis Character Scholarship! Ian was a wonderful, fun-loving young man who uplifted everyone around him, and whose life was tragically cut short in 2019. The scholarship is awarded annually to a male and female senior soccer player at Wake Forest High School who is a loyal friend and teammate and who is a unifying force for the team, all qualities that Ian exhibited. ๐Ÿ’š

    Race Benefactor

    As a non-profit serving impoverished and homeless children and families, Note in the Pocket started with a simple mission: to clothe children with dignity and love. Note in the Pocket believes that it is unacceptable that children are limited in their educational and social development because they do not have appropriate clothes for school.

    We have a goal to clothe 12,000 children and families from across the Triangle in 2026. Proceeds from this event help to make that happen.
