10/11 Arts Ed Fundraiser: MI Youth Arts in Motion 5k

The inaugural Michigan Youth Arts in Motion 5k will take place October 11, 2009 in Royal Oak

Family-friendly and suitable for both runners and walkers, the event will raise money for Michigan Youth Arts, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization promoting arts education for every student in Michigan schools. More than just a race, the event will be a celebration of the arts – featuring live performances, on-site installations, and more!

Three ways for you to get involved:

1. REGISTER
The chip-timed 5k run is just $30 through September 27, $35 thereafter. The self-timed 5k run or walk is only $25 through September 27, $30 thereafter. There's a kid's fun mile event, too! We welcome participants in costumes or as part of a team. Register at michiganyoutharts.org/5k.

2. VOLUNTEER
Race-day volunteers will staff the water station, serve as course marshals, help with registration and check-in, and much more. Anyone high school age or older is welcome. This is a great chance for groups or individuals to perform a service to the community! Download volunteer guidelines here: http://www.michiganyoutharts.org/pdf/5kvolunteers.pdf

3. DO ART
Artists of all ages are invited to submit proposals to perform or install art at the event! We are especially looking for groups to perform along the route and in the park, visual and interactive art in the park, and creative awards to give to participants.
