This year, the Central Civitan Club will honor former Club President, the late Wade Morgan with the “Be More Like Wade” Scholarship 5K Run/Walk immediately before their annual Lone Oak Picnic on July 25.
The 5K will begin at the Central Civitan building, located on Alonzo Place in Cunningham, TN, continuing to Vernon Creek Road. Registration will begin at 8 a.m., with the race to follow at 8:30 a.m.
The group would like to make the event an annual one in memory of Wade, who died on March 3, 2015 from a work related accident. He was an active member of the Cunningham community. Wade graduated from Montgomery Central High School in 2002 and was named “Mr. Central”. Proceeds from the 5K will be placed into a scholarship fund, with funds granted each year to a graduating Senior at MCHS who demonstrates the traits that Wade did.
Tickets can be purchased online through TicketLeap.com. Those who register by July 1 will receive a free t-shirt.
Donations can be made at any Cumberland Bank and Trust under the account name “Be More Like Wade.”
