The annual Beginnings Care for Life Walk & Run is Aug. 7, with registration opening at 7:30 a.m. at First Baptist Church, Coldwater. At 8:45 a.m. the one-mile walk around Heritage Park and the 5-K run begins.
Walkers and runners may pre-register and, if they choose, set up their own fundraising page at BeginningsCare.com. Incentive gift cards will be awarded for every $100 each participant raises, said Jane Ford, Beginnings Care executive director.
The event is more than just a race. They also offer children’s games and activities, drawings for prizes and refreshments.
And a silent auction.
Their extensive silent auction of goods and services donated by the community could almost be its own event. And an option for those who want to support Beginnings Care for Life in ways beyond walking and running.

Last year was a disaster for Anthony Fronczekâs small beekeeping business.
The cancellation of the Palisade Honeybee Festival hurt his venture, HorseThief Mesa Apiaries, but what made matters worse was the limited scale of farmers markets in Palisade, Fruita and the beloved Market on Main in Grand Junction.
The latter was moved from Main Street to the Grand Junction Convention Center parking lot on First Street and Colorado Avenue before returning to Main Street in August.
Fronczek only has about 100 hives, which cost $500 to $700 each. Not having access to Main Street, as well as pandemic concerns, meant fewer people, which meant he didnât sell as much honey and beeswax.
