Dear Friends of The Club at Gateway,
We want to give a giant shout-out and thank you to everyone who laced up their running (or walking!) shoes and joined us for our very first Fireworks 5K in support of local charities!
Despite the unpredictable July 4th weekend weather, the skies cleared just in time, and off we went! Thanks to your energy, enthusiasm, and big hearts, we had an incredible turnout of around 40 participants who ran, walked, and cheered for a great cause.
Your participation helped support Blessings in a Backpack, a wonderful organization providing food for students facing food insecurity across Lee, Hendry, and Collier counties—not just during the school year, but all year long.
We’re so grateful for this community and the impact we can make when we come together. Stay tuned for more fun events ahead!
