This year’s event is a project of the Bowling Green AM Rotary Club with the major sponsorships from The Medical Center of Bowling Green, Bowling Green City Parks and Recreation Department, and Graves Gilbert Clinic. Funds raised from this event will be used to support the Rotary Club’s scholarship program. Currently this scholarship program supports Western Kentucky University nursing student scholarships.
