R&B artist Syleena Johnson and fitness expert Donna Richardson Joyner will be joining Kile’s World for this initiative.
“It’s really great that even in Kile’s death, lives will be saved,” said Richardson Joyner.
Proceeds from the Give Thanks 5K Run/Walk will go to support Kile’s World’s art programs and its upcoming camps.
“The arts were extremely important to my son, Kile, so as we kickoff the holiday season, I’m inviting everyone to give back while burning off those extra Thanksgiving calories,” said Raymond. “In the process, you will be making a camper’s dream come true.”
The 5K Run/Walk is an opportunity for families, veteran and novice runners and walkers to get active and give back.
