The Force was with us at the sixth annual Grand Pediatric Pentathlon. With 47 participants, the event raised over $17,500 which will help develop bigger and better brains in Alabama’s children.
“The Force was definitely with us this year! Pediatricians and their families conquered the Dark Side and raised over $17,500 to build better brains in Alabama. I was honored to serve as the Master Jedi...er...honorary chair of the Grand Pediatric Pentathlon. The future of Alabama is bright!”
— Nola Ernest, M.D., honorary chair
The event has raised over $73,500 during the last six years for Reach Out and Read-Alabama and the program sites throughout the state that are not only prescribing books, but also giving Alabama’s children a foundation for success.
During the Pentathlon, participants (attendees, family members and vendors) had the opportunity to register and compete in five different events (kayaking, walking/running, bicycling, swimming and reading) available at the Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort.
