Fall is just around the corner, so prepare your Halloween costume and running shoes for the Track or Treat Chris Patterson Memorial 5k! This event will be held on October 19, 2024, at the Phenix City Amphitheatre. Register here.
The Track or Treat Chris Patterson Memorial 5k is not just a race; it’s a chance to make a real difference. By participating, you’re supporting The Chris Patterson Student Support Fund, which assists Chattahoochee Valley Community College students facing financial hardships. Your contribution could help a single mother pay for daycare, cover transportation costs, or provide essential books and supplies. Together, we can remove the barriers that could otherwise force a promising student to drop out.
The event is held in memory of Chris Patterson, a highly respected and beloved student advisor at CVCC. Chris passed away from H1N1 in 2009. Patterson had a passion for students, a love for running, and great costumes amused him.
“Chris loved this time of year, so seeing everyone dressed in costumes is one of my favorite parts,” said Lise Patterson, Chris Patterson’s mother. “We’ve seen some really creative costumes over the years. It’s always such a treat.”
