General Mills’ Fifth Annual Doughboy Challenge Helps Non-profits
2010 Marks the fifth year of the Doughboy Challenge 5K walk, sponsored by General Mills Corporation to benefit not-for-profit charities in Rutherford County.
There had been some speculation that the Challenge, which runs through downtown Murfreesboro, would be leaving the county, but according to General Mills, that will not be the case.
This year’s race will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Rutherford County, the Governor’s Books from Birth Foundation, and CASA, the Court Appointed Special Advocates for children.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Rutherford County offer supervised recreation and personal development for children during out-of-school hours, promoting competence, usefulness, and a sense of belonging.
The Governor’s Books from Birth Foundation assists Tennessee preschool children in developing skills related to language in general, reading specifically, and schoool, by monthly mailings of age-appropriate books to children’s homes from birth to age five.
CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates, is a program that recruits volunteers who are then appointed by a judge to be social workers for children, usually only one at a time, to make sure that they are placed in safe, permanent homes.
