via press release…

Tameka Raymond encourages the community, particularly young people, to get active and give thanks with Kile’s World’s Give Thanks 5K Run/Walk. “It’s  been proven that physical activity is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your health,” said Tameka Raymond, founder and chairman of Kile’s World Foundation. “So we are excited about families joining us as we get activity and stay healthy.”

R&B artist Syleena johnson and fitness expert Donna Richardson Joyner will be joining Kile’s World for this initiative. “It’s really great that even in Kile’s passing, lives will be saved,” said Richardson Joyner.

Proceeds from the Give Thanks 5k Run/Walk will go to support Kile’s World’s art initiatives and its upcoming camps. “The arts were extremely important to my son, Kile, so as we kickoff the holiday season. I’m inviting everyone to give back while burning off those extra Thanksgiving calories,” said Raymond. “In the process, you will be making a camper’s dream come true.”
