2012 Sharin' O' the Green 5K
Saturday, March 17
Odell Brewing Company, Fort Collins
Celebrating St. Patrick's Day, Sharin' O' the Green, a run/walk in beautiful Old Town Fort Collins is a great way to start the running season. 100% of the proceeds from the race go directly to supporting Partners Mentoring Youth.
This year we have a new location and route for our event and will be starting and finishing at Odell Brewing Co. After many years of holding the event at Library Park, we had to find a new location this year due to construction work that the Library is undertaking. We are excited that we have been able to find a new venue close to the original site and within close proximity to the downtown St. Patrick’s Day parade. While sad to leave an old home, we are grateful to Odell for their continued corporate support, use of their facilities and ability to expand the event to include music, food, beverages, and party activities throughout the morning. All runners over the age of 21 will be able to help celebrate the day with a free complimentary adult beverage courtesy of Odell and a variety of other beverages will also be available.

Male Mentors Needed!
Partners is always looking for mentors, both male and female. But currently, there is a large need for male volunteers. With over 80% of the youth on our waiting list coming from single-parent households, there is a lot of opportunity for positive adult male role models to step in and make a big difference. Be it throwing a ball around, fishing, hiking or playing video games, those moments mean a lot in the life of a boy. For more information on becoming a volunteer, click here!
