This race is being presented by the Fayette County School Nutrition Association .  FCSNA is a non-profit organization that aides local school nutrition employees and public school students. FCSNA provides annual student scholarships, employee scholarship, and multiple recognition awards. We offer continuing education for our members to develop their career skill sets while offering a localized sense of community. Our members and fellow child nutrition professionals have maintained their dedication throughout the pandemic. We have worked tirelessly to provide meals for adolescents and will continue to do so throughout 2021. If it wasn't known before 2020, it is now clear that some heroes do indeed, wear aprons instead of capes.   100% of proceeds and donations from our race will bolster our student & employee scholarship program.
