Joplin, Mo, – Active Lifestyle Events, ALE, a 501(c)3 organization devoted to promoting health and fitness in our community, will be presenting a check to representatives of Bright Futures Joplin on Wednesday, July 31st at 10:00 a.m.

The donation was funded by proceeds from past Joplin Memorial Runs and will be used to feed food insecure students through Bright Future Joplin’s Snack Packs Program.  Bright Futures Joplin began in 2010 as a way to connect students in need with available community resources and support, so they are able to reach their full potential.  The Snack Packs program provides food to early-childhood, elementary and middle school students. 

ALE has given over $300,000 to organizations such as The United Way of SWMO, Rebuild Joplin, the Bill and Virginia Leffen Center for Autism, Bright Futures, Ronald McDonald House, the Joplin Boys & Girls Club, Joplin Family YMCA, the Cornerstone Spartans, Stained Glass Theatre, One Joplin and others.
