Clerks' offices join to help support children's advocates & domestic violence shelter

(McKINNEY, Texas) - Collin County's District and County clerks are hosting a 5K Fun Run/Walk benefiting Hope's Door Domestic Violence Center and the Collin County Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) on Saturday, May 3, 2008 here at Towne Lake Park.

Runners start at 9 a.m. from the West Pavillion; walkers head out 15 minutes later from the same location. The clerks will have snacks and water available, and the $15 registration fee includes a souvenir T-shirt.

Walkers and runners can download and print out the Registration Form. For those who would like to help sponsor the event, details can be found the Sponsorship Form.

"Hope's Door and the CAC are the kind of causes that we need to rally around every chance we get," says Kunkle. "They both have a phenomenal track record of protecting children and battered women in this community."

This is the second year for the fundraiser. District Clerk Hannah Kunkle says that, with County Clerk Stacey Kemp joining the effort this year, the two offices hope to make a big jump in raising money for the two non-profit organizations.
