SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — Multicare Inland Northwest hosted their second annual Bridge to Brunch 5k run and walk on the Centennial Trail in Spokane’s U-District Saturday morning to benefit the Community Cancer Fund.
More than 600 people registered to participate in the 5k. After participants completed the three-mile course, they were greeted at WSU Spokane Campus by the smell of waffles, bacon and eggs in the air.
100 percent of the proceeds from registrations and sponsorships went toward the Community Cancer Fund. Additional funds came from the $3.00 mimosa bar at the finish line.
