Hunter Farms Pumpkin Patch Dash 1K - 5K - 10K

Hunter Farms and Buhach Colony High School's Cross Country team are delighted to invite you and your family to a day full of fun activities and entertainment on Saturday, October 14th at the 2nd Annual Pumpkin Patch Dash at Hunter Farms.  Whether you have children and are looking for a cool activity on a Saturday this Fall or are a dedicated runner looking for a whole new venue to run your next 10K or 5K...Hunter Farms Pumpkin Patch Dash is the place for you!

During this Pumpkin Patch Dash hosted by Buhach Colony XC and Hunter Farms, the proceeds of this event will also be supporting the Children's Fund of Valley Children's Hospital. A fellow Buhach Colony High School alumni, Colin Chima, was recently diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a blood cancer, shortly after his graduation from Buhach. So far, Colin is fighting through this process with a tremendous amount of support from his family and peers. Although this is a challenging time, he feels extremely blessed and excited to begin the healing process.

The care and support Colin received at Valley Children's Hospital in Madera has led to his decision to choose The Children's Fund Charity to receive a donation of the proceeds of this event under Buhach Colony XC. The Children’s Fund provides high-quality comprehensive healthcare services and programs to all children regardless of their ability to pay and to continuously improve the health and well-being of children. CLICK ON THE DONATE BUTTON and help us meet our goal of $5,000...and THANK YOU for supporting Colin's chosen charity.
