Lions' Roar Kate Truax 5K/1K Run
Get ready to ROAR! Support OLOL in our 8th Annual Event!
Our Special Day is Coming Up!
Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School is pleased to announce that the 8th Annual Lions’ Roar Kate Truax 5K/1K Run will take place on Saturday, April 23, 2016 with a spaghetti dinner on Friday, April 22 at 6:00 p.m.
In 2013, in honor of Kate Truax, we renamed the race for our beloved teacher who lost her brave battle with leukemia in December of 2012.
The Lions’ Roar is our school community’s major fundraiser for the 2015-2016 school year, with all proceeds going directly to the school to benefit its current and future students. Drawing more than 660 participants last year, the event is a fun-filled day for families that celebrates our school’s rich 70-year legacy of teaching children to live by the principles of “faith, excellence and service.” It is also a vote of confidence, ensuring a promise to future generations of students, that they will continue to receive a Lourdes’ education that prepares them to be successful leaders who serve the world.
