2020 CoSIDA (Virtual) 5K Fun Run / 2-Mile Walk
Saturday, June 6 - Wednesday, June 10
Location: Anywhere you choose
Cost: $10 donation (100% goes to benefit
Three Square Food Bank of Las Vegas)
In place of the in person CoSIDA/NACDA Charity 5K Run/2 Mile Walk, the CoSIDA Goodwill and Wellness Committee has organized a virtual 5K. Over the last nine years the charity 5K in conjunction with our convention has raised over $25,000 for local charities.
This year we will be raising money for Three Square, an organization on the forefront of battling the food crisis in Las Vegas. Three Square provides 41 million meals annually. With the current crisis Three Square has 43 Emergency Food Distribution Sites, serving thousands of hungry Las Vegas families.
Your donation of $10 will provide 30 meals!
You will be e-mailed a race bib prior to the event and upon completion you will receive a virtual award certificate.

The CoSIDA Goodwill and Wellness Committee is continuing its partnership with
Three Square Food Bank in Las Vegas to provide meals for our hungry neighbors. Every $1 you give can generate 3 nutritious meals. You can make a difference in the fight against hunger.
Even though we will be having a virtual convention this year and will not be having our in person backpack distribution event at Mandalay Bay, we want to thank you for showing interest in giving back to the Las Vegas community and those in need remotely. It's through our annual community service partnerships like Three Square that we can really make a difference around the country.
As you are aware, families all throughout the country are losing their incomes, and our seniors are having difficulty or are unable to get groceries due to the COVID-19 crisis. It's up to us to do what we can to take care of people in need.
We understand that resources are scarce at this time; however, we greatly appreciate any and all donations. If you are unfamiliar with Three Square, please look into their
website, you will see they are on the forefront of battling the food crisis in Las Vegas. Three Square currently provides more than 41 million meals – the equivalent of more than 50 million pounds of food and grocery products – per year through a network of community partners. With the current crisis, Three Square has 43 Emergency Food Distribution Sites, serving thousands of hungry Las Vegas families. A donation of even $10 makes an enormous contribution.
With great gratitude,
CoSIDA Goodwill and Wellness Committee
