The Run for Renewal and Treat House Trot once again received official sponsor support from the Davenport Campus. The 5K run/walk and half-mile trot was held April 19, and promotes physical well-being and healthy lifestyle choices among Quad-City area youth and adults.

It also brings awareness of positive developments to the inner-city neighborhood surrounding Project Renewal, a non-profit agency that serves children from low-income families with afterschool and summer park programs. Funds raised from the Run for Renewal and Treat House Trot go toward Project Renewal.

“It’s important for Palmer to support programs such as this in our own community,” said Public Relations and Events Specialist Katie Hoyt. “And Project Renewal, specifically, gives area youths positive options, both educational and recreational.”
