The Lehigh Valley Association of Realtors held a 5K Race/Walk fundraiser for the Heroes Campaign to benefit the American Red Cross Greater Lehigh Valley Chapter. The event raised $3,000 which will help to provide programs and services to more than 709,000 people in Lehigh, Carbon and Northampton counties.

Event planning began last spring when students from the Bethlehem Area School District's Broughal, East Hills and Nitschman middle schools submitted designs for event T-shirts. EHMS student Jackie Bush, now a Freedon HS freshman, created the winning design. Therese Kelley, president of LVAR and task force chair, said, "Our goal was to have a fun, family time while raising funds for this worthy cause."
