Pack the Park Fun Run Saturday May 10, 2025 has live music, a food truck, and supports good causes

The Pack the Park Fun Run, entering its ninth year, will occur on May 10, 2025, at Pfingst Animal Acres Park, Lake Forest Park. Originally a PTA initiative, it has evolved into a cherished community event managed by Kind + Co Events, which operates at no cost, relying on volunteer support. This year's festivities will feature live music from the Lago Vista Social Club band, food trucks, and snow cones, creating a vibrant atmosphere for participants. Proceeds will benefit the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market Bucks and the Shoreline Schools Angel Fund, both crucial for supporting local families in need. The Farmers Market Bucks program helps families access fresh, local produce, while the Angel Fund addresses school lunch debt to ensure no child goes hungry.

Community involvement is encouraged through registration, volunteering, or sponsorship to maximize the event's positive effects. Donations will also be accepted for those who cannot attend, directly aiding local families. The event emphasizes community spirit and the importance of giving back.
