Teddy Bear Run to Support Annunciation Community by Fleet Feet

Our community has experienced a profoundly challenging week, and we extend our deepest sympathies to the children and families of Annunciation. We know many of you may have personal connections to this tragedy and several members have spent their formative years within that very building.

This Tuesday, September 2nd at 6:00 PM, Run Minnesota invites its members, supporters, and partners to join a special run organized by Fleet Feet. The run will leave from Fleet Feet and proceed along the parkway to Annunciation where participants will place teddy bears at the growing memorial. Additional teddy bears for those who wish to assist in transporting them to the memorial will be available.

Not able to run, but want to participate? Walkers are welcome.

For those unable to participate in the Teddy Bear Run, you can support the Annunciation Community by:
