Parent to Parent FSN-HC Events

Parent to Parent Family Support Network of the High Country hosts multiple events each year for all families in the High Country. Take a minute to look through our events below and plan to attend one.

Spooky Duke Race

For the past several years, Parent to Parent FSN-High County has held a fundraising and awareness raising event with running as the theme. The first 5K in 2011 was the brainchild of Jennifer McClure, an amazing Appalachian Social Work intern with our program, who chose to create a 5K for us as her final project. Her dream was that event would continue and grow….and it has!

Dr. Charles R. Duke, former Dean of the Reich College of Education, became our sponsor. To honor him and to celebrate our Halloween theme the name “Spooky Duke” was born. The “Spooky Duke” is now a certified 5K and 10K race with a free Costume March and Contest where children, adults and pets can all show off their unique costumes and share in the fun. All proceeds to this race enable Parent to Parent FSN-HC to continue to support local families who have children with special needs.
