Penny Pledge:
The Penny Pledge is a campaign to encourage both exercise and generosity in school-age children. Children collect a penny (or more!) per step for the upcoming 1K race, for which they are a registered runner. 100% of donations benefit the ongoing community projects of the Junior League of Cobb-Marietta. This is a wonderful opportunity to teach children that even small donations can have a big impact, and that you are never too young to serve others in your community. Simply register your runner, print THIS form, collect pledges, and turn everything in at the packet pickup or on race day.
