Join us for the third annual Anderson 5K Run/Walk!

This event was created to raise money for the Kayla Anderson Scholarship Fund that provides scholarship awards to graduating Vandalia Butler High School seniors.

Sarah and Kayla Anderson, along with two other neighbors, were tragically and senselessly killed in their Butler Township homes on 8/5/22. This event rocked the entire community. Shortly after, support came in from all over the city and surrounding communities and the Kayla Anderson Scholarship Fund was created. The family hopes to see this scholarship fund bless many students for many years to come and also honor Sarah and Kayla’s lives, leaving a legacy of loving others well and living their lives to the fullest.

To learn more about Sarah and Kayla as well as the scholarship fund/ways to donate, visit www.sarahandkayla.org

Run/Walk participants will receive water, a granola bar and a chance to win fun door prizes!!
