ain or shine, nothing was stopping the kids from participating in the 
inaugural Sandestin Foundation for Kids Gameday 5K Fun Run on 
September 17. Kids and their parents were out to grace this event that 
featured a one mile run for children under 12 and a 5k run for all.

The post–run party included some fun activities at Sandestin Baytowne Marina. 

The kids enjoyed the bounce house, corn hole and some face painting, while adults 
and others enjoyed college football on the jumbo screen; taking advantage of the 
game day specials from the Marina Bar & Grill. 

There was a silent auction benefiting the Sandestin Foundation for Kids. The 

Sandestin Foundation for Kids allows funds to be gifted to children and families in 
the event of a tragedy. Sandestin Foundation for Kids’ goal is to provide immediate 
support throughout the community and abroad.
