French Lick Tri Kappa hosts it's 3rd annual fundraising 5K in memory of our sister Sharon Collier. This race will follow trails between the beautiful, historic French Lick Springs Resort and West Baden Springs Hotels. Sharon was a strong advocate for children and those with special needs held such a special place in her heart. The money raised from the 5K will be added to the fund in her memory to be used for special needs students in the Springs Valley community. Sharon also loved awarding academic scholarships through Tri Kappa to Springs Valley High School graduates so this fund will help award scholarships as well with emphasis on

students pursuing degrees in special education.

Tri Kappa is a statewide organization promoting culture, charity, and education in the communities we serve. The money raised for events like this goes right back into the community as scholarships, awards, and donations.
