About the Run
The seventh annual Rise and Shine 5K Walk and Run will be held on Saturday, April 24, 2010 with registration starting at 7 a.m. in Hall B of the George R. Brown Convention Center. The event will include a 5K Walk and Run, a 1K fun run for kids and many activities for the whole family. Rise and Shine benefits The Rise School of Houston, a nationally recognized pre-school for children with and without Down syndrome and other disabilities. All proceeds from the run go directly to benefit the children who attend the school. Sponsors are encouraged to have all of their employees, clients and vendors attend this great run. There will be prizes for the company with the most team registrants, team spirit and best booth. This year, we are honoring two icons of the Houston Commercial Real Estate Community at the run. John Holland and Staman Ogilvie are long time champions of the Rise School of Houston and we are so proud that they will be this year’s honorary grand marshals.
