Chetola Resort’s Corkscrew &
Brew 5K Awards $1,500 to the Recipient of the Annual Charitable
Race
|
Festivities surrounding Chetola Resort’s annual
Corkscrew & Brew 5K are always exciting. But the extra spring
in this race’s step - aside from the popular “non-hydration” wine
and beer stations, of course - is that race director Gary Woolard
makes sure someone in the local community benefits from all the
fun and games. This year, more than 200 runners and walkers
participated in the May 5 race, the net proceeds from which were
dedicated to the Children’s Organ Transplant Association in honor
of local two-year-old Levi Boyter, a kidney transplant recipient.
On June 8, Woolard proudly presented a $1,500 check to Levi and
his mother, Danielle Boyter. Read
