I didn't realize how involved Stater Bros is with charity work until we met our friend who works there. She told us about the Light the Night 5K that's held at Angel's stadium to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Being fans on the Angels and having had a family member who died young of leukemia, Nate and I jumped on the opportunity to take part in this charity walk.
Registration is free, but participants are encouraged to raise $100 or more (from their own donations or by getting sponsors). Once at the event, there is a lot offered for the entire family. This year, there was a face-painting booth, caricature booth, bounce houses, and food for free to anyone participating. The walk itself took us around the outside of the stadium and then along the dirt on the field. There was even a camera set up so everyone could have a few seconds of fame on the Jumbo-tron.
The walk was rather leisurely (there were parts where the walkway was so narrow everyone had to go slowly) and it's the only walk I know of that's at night (which made it a nice escape for the rather how September day). Most of all, this is for a great cause. The next walk will be held on September 17, 2011 at Angel's Stadium in Anaheim and I hope you decide to join.
This seems awesome! I want to go to there!
