Snowflake Streak
Snowflake Streakers Raise more than $55,000 for the Uninsured
Despite the unseasonably warm weather, an estimated 400 walkers—dressed in snowflakes, Frozen lookalikes and other festive apparel joined the second annual Snowflake Streak to support Saint Vincent Clinic on Jan. 24. The one-mile walk, held at the Riverfront Community Center, attracted walkers from all over the Kansas City metropolitan area.
“We raised over $55,000,” said Amy Falk, Caritas Clinics, Inc. Executive Director. “Special thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, St. Luke’s Cushing Hospital, and all our sponsors for making this event a huge success. The Pancake Breakfast was underwritten by Country Club Bank and Citizens Savings and Loan sponsored the Beverage station.”
According to Ron Romig, the Snowflake Streak Grand Marshal, this event is a win-win for our community and Saint Vincent. “It’s rewarding to see so many area businesses, civic groups, schools, and families join forces to help those in our community who have no health insurance. Together we are making a difference!”
