The Spirit of Benny 10K/5K Fun Run and Walk is a family friendly fundraiser that supports the seriously ill children and families of El Dorado County, CA. Proceeds from the Spirit of Benny event will go to New Morning Youth & Family Services, whose mission is to provide quality professional social services to enhance the lives of Western Slope El Dorado County youth and their families. During the pandemic, the need for mental health services for our youth has grown significantly and can be life-threatening. The Spirit of Benny decided to redirect proceeds of the race specifically to counseling services for high risk youth. We hope you will join us in supporting this invaluable local community resource.
