Proceeds from the annual event will benefit Shop With A Hero in Barrow County and Hometown Heroes of Walton, programs that give children the opportunity to shop for holiday gifts alongside local heroes. Organizers have set a fundraising goal of $30,000 and are encouraging the community to support the effort through race registration, business sponsorships and donations. Every $250 donated can help provide another child with the opportunity to participate in the holiday shopping experience. Children are identified by school counselors and selected based on need.
