Eastern Idaho Technical College’s student organization DECA and the Eastern Idaho Technical College Foundation are pleased to announce the first annual Michelle Kern Memorial 5K. This event will take place on Friday, October 14, 2011 at 6:30 p.m., beginning and ending on the Eastern Idaho Technical College campus, Michelle Kern’s alma mater.  

Participants are welcome to walk or run the 5K route. Cost for high school or college students is $15 with a student ID or activity card. Regular registration fee is $20 and late registration fee (after October 10th, 2011) is $35. All ages are encouraged to join in this event for a powerful cause.

Michelle Kern was a 2011 graduate from EITC’s Business Marketing & Management program and an active DECA member. Three days after graduating, Michelle, her sister Malinda, and Michelle’s two young sons, Jack and Gage were murdered in Michelle’s parents’ home. This tragedy was a great loss to family and friends, Eastern Idaho Technical College, and the community.

Proceeds from the Twilight 5K will be used to support the Eastern Idaho Technical College DECA and also create the Michelle Kern Memorial Scholarship for an Eastern Idaho Technical College student. 

Please join us in making sure that her memory will live on through the gift of scholarship. All support is greatly appreciated. Food and craft booth space is available at the event.

For more information on the Twilight 5K, please contact Michelle Ziel at the number provided above.
