Elizabethton Tennessee

Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can):
The 4th annual Race for Wandell is a 3k race to benefit former East Side Elementary school principal Josh Wandell who was diagnosed with ALS in 2013.
All money raised went to help Josh with the very costly medical care that insurance does not cover.
Each year people from all over the community come out to support their friend and beloved principal, and this year we can add the 501st to the list of supporters! Troopers brought smiles to children and adults alike by taking pictures and cheering on the runners as they crossed the finish line. In addition to the race there was also a silent auction that brought in additional funds. Troopers participated in the auction and encouraged people to bid on items such as star wars action figures and a Troofer master TK helmet. There were many thanks yous from people throughout the day for bringing some cheer and happiness to an event that was formed out of a heartbreaking situation.
