tewdle <br />(!b'&taMh6e,1 L2K' <br />Centerville <br />Special Event Permit Application <br />The Long Underwear Run/Walk (5K, & 8K) <br />Submitted Monday, March 6, 2017 <br />LTITLE, PURPOSE, AND BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF EVENT: <br />General Background Information: <br />• This running event was previously know as Outrun Homeless. <br />• This will be the third annual event to benefit the hungry and homeless held in Center- <br />ville. All running/walking events are on the same day -Saturday September 23, 2017. <br />The course will be set up on Thursday and Friday, September 21 st & 22th. This is the <br />same course as the annual 2016 and earlier Centerville Festival of the Lakes runs. Cen- <br />terville Parks and Recreation Committee has elected to alter their Fete des Lacs running <br />course for 2017. We may revisit the decision to stick with the older course later in the <br />year. <br />• This is a fund raising event for No One Left Hungry Foundation. Marsha Marcussen is <br />the founder and principle operating officer. She has established strategic relationship <br />with and works in cooperation with Union Gospel Mission, a homeless shelter in St <br />Paul. <br />• This funds raised in 2015 and 2016 were used to provide shoes, sleeping bags, blankets <br />and warm clothing to the homeless and to support homeless shelters in St Paul and <br />Anoka. The funds raised in 2017 will be used for a similar purpose. <br />• The event benefits the homeless in Minnesota. People in need from rural and suburban <br />areas tend to migrate to the larger cities. It is the intention of the event organizer to ben- <br />efit those in need where ever they are in our State. Thus the statement of purpose is to <br />benefit the homeless in Minnesota rather than Anoka or Ramsey Counties. <br />• The race committee members are all volunteers. One hundred percent of the funds <br />raised, in excess of expenses, go directly to feed the hungry or support Minnesota non- <br />profit organizations dedicated to transitioning the homeless to self sufficiency with <br />pride and purpose. <br />• We are requesting a waiver to all park fees and deposits= <br />Page 1 of 14 <br />8 <br />
