Eisenhower Medical Center hosts 2nd annual Reindeer Run

People got into the holiday spirit this morning at Eisenhower Medical Center’s second annual Reindeer Run. More than 800 people took part, showing off their most festive workout attire. The event is an effort to support the medical center’s Annual Funds.

The 5K event featured a costume contest, Zumba, and prizes, which were awarded to the top three runners in each division. The medical center also collected canned food items to support Martha’s Village and K itchen.

Senior Vice President, L aura F ritz, says the community’s involvement is a staple to the medical center’s success.

“The money goes to our A nnual Fund to support E isenhower’s greatest needs. This is where the community needs it most, it might be for technology, to hire staff, for patient care, or to expand an important program,” said Fritz.

The Reindeer Run is one of E isenhower Medical Center’s most popular fundraisers.
