Mission 500 Security 5K/2K Virtual Event Raises $75K for Children in Need
Mission 500, a nonprofit, charitable organization that works closely with the security industry to serve children and families in need across the U.S., teamed up with ISC West during its online show earlier this month to stage a virtual 5K/2K Run/Walk. The virtual race raised $75,000 in donations, which will be used to provide relief to children and families across the country.
“2020 has proven to be a difficult year for businesses, their families and especially for scores of less fortunate children and families who were already in need of support prior to the pandemic,” said Ken Gould, chairman of Mission 500. “With ISC West 2020’s shift from a live to a virtual event, Mission 500 also transformed our annual Security 500 5K/2K Run/Walk into a virtual event. The tremendous support of longstanding partners, sponsors and attendees made this virtual event an overwhelming success, and we are most grateful for their collective efforts and desire to help those in need during these most trying times.”
