About Us

OUR MISSION

The mission of The Colleen Lantz Memorial Run 4 Youth Inc. is to honour Colleen’s passion for health and well-being and her desire to help local children and local families in need.

OUR MANDATE

The Colleen Lantz Memorial Run 4 Youth Inc. is a not-for-profit organization designed to carry out activities which promote physical fitness and well-being to people of all ages while, at the same time, raising funds for local youth oriented organizations.

OUR 2012 GOAL

Our goal is to host the biggest Colleen Lantz Memorial Run 4 Youth event to date. With our location at the Neustadt Community Centre and Arena, we hope to increase the number of vendors and the number of people participating. Through the various venues it is our goal to provide valuable health related information for all ages (youth to seniors), as well as inspire the community to become involved, make healthier choices and get active.

OUR 2012 FUNDRAISING FOCUS

The 2012 Run 4 Youth Event is focused on raising money for The Saugeen Valley Children’s Safety Village which is a community based project with the aim of providing an innovative and interactive educational safety facility designed to aid in the elimination of preventable childhood injuries and fatalities. What makes the Children’s Safety Village unique is that children will be involved in their own educational safety awareness rather than through conventional instruction. By practicing life-saving techniques taught by safety professionals, children will be able to react in emergency situations that may occur throughout their lives.
