PureFormulas is pleased to be the presenting sponsor at the annual “Special Olympics Sponsor an Athlete 5k Run/Walk” on Sunday, May 3, 2015.
The event, hosted by Gulliver Preparatory School in Pinecrest, will feature a certified 5K-run/walk course, family activities and live entertainment. Funds raised will go toward the mission of the Miami-Dade chapter of Special Olympics Florida, an organization that provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
"We are honored and excited to support the 16th annual ‘Sponsor an Athlete 5k run/walk’," said José L. Prendes, CEO of PureFormulas. “We look forward to walking and running alongside Special Olympic athletes, and helping make this year’s event bigger and better than ever.”
After the run/walk, participants will get a chance to wind down at the event’s “Olympic Village,” featuring live musical entertainment, complimentary food and beverages, and a slew of not-to-be-missed activities. PureFormulas' hospitality tent will feature games and giveaways, including gift cards for pureformulas.com, SmartShake™ bottles, jump ropes and more.
