Day in the Park

media release: We are happy to announce that we will hold the Day in the Park on August 21, at North Park! We hope to see you all back for a wonderful day of music, food, a silent auction, kids activities and more fun with our neighbors and friends.

After two years without the Day in the Park fundraiser, we have been amazed, humbled and so proud of the overwhelming generosity and support of the 4PeteSake community. 4PeteSake has been able to help River Valley residents in need throughout the pandemic, with both Fall and Spring Funding in 2020 and 2021. The impact on the recipients and their families has been life changing as they cope with financial hardship created by health conditions. We cannot thank you enough.

The 3rd Annual 4PeteSake Golf Outing will be held at the House on the Rock Resort on Friday, September 16.  Please click on the golf link HERE for more information and to register your team.

RUN/WALK & BIKE: A 5k Run/Walk and 15 or 30 mile Bike ride BOTH get the day started at 9:00 a.m. Day-of registration for both events begins at 8:00 a.m. The entrance fee for each event is $30 or $25 each for families or 4 or more. Questions about the Run/Walk can be directed to Cristin Lagerman at cristinleigh@gmail.com. For questions about the bike ride, contact Lisa Roelke at lroelke3@gmail.com. Plunge for Pete! Participate in the Walk or Bike Ride and finish by splashing down in the pool. There will be a pool party from 10:00 a.m. until Noon on August 21, for all participants. Showers at the pool will be available to anyone participating in the Run/Walk or Bike Rides.
