B.G. Squirrel Run

Proudly supporting the
Fort Worth Botanic Garden.

 

Not a runner... You can still help through a donation to:

The Leichthouse for Youth

The Leichthouse for Youth began in 2002 when Jackie and Larry Leicht realized a need for sponsoring kids in the B.G. Squirrel Run. Many students in the Fort Worth area would like to participate in sporting events such as the Squirrel Run but their families don't have the resources to pay for the registration. Jackie and Larry supported the first school team in 2002 with a $500 donation.

Since that time, additional corporate and individual sponsors have contributed toward registrations for runners from the FWISD After School program and from the Lena Pope Home. This gives these youth the opportunity to learn how to take care of their bodies and their spirit. As a way of saying thanks, they are giving back to their community by spending a half day field trip in Fort Worth Botanic Garden where they spread mulch, create pathways, rake leaves or help the education department assemble packets for the Green Thumb program.

We will accept any amount toward The Leichthouse Runners, but $500 will support an entire school team.
