Time left to take part in annual fundraiser for F.I.S.H.

By STAFF REPORT / trepecki@breezenewspapers.com - | Oct 26, 2021

There is still time to take part in the 13th Annual 10K Race 4 F.I.S.H., which is virtual this year.

Registration is open through the Fort Myers Track Club at ftmyerstrackclub.com.

Participating runners will log their results online through a race link. Times will be accepted at any point from when they register through Oct. 31. Participants will receive a dri-fit shirt with the Hortoon 10K logo on the front, as well as 10K medals that will be mailed to them based upon sign-up date.

Funds raised through the 10K race will benefit F.I.S.H. of Sanibel-Captiva as it continues to meet the needs of islanders for nearly 40 years, including during disasters such as the current health crisis.

As the islands’ only wrap-around social services organization, F.I.S.H. is experiencing significant growth in program usage, particularly its Helping Hands emergency financial assistance, food pantry, and Meals-by-F.I.S.H. hot meal delivery program for housebound island residents. It provides services to those who live, work or visit the islands and continues to grow to meet the community’s demands.
