Congratulations to all of the individuals that placed at the Hillsboro FFA 5K.

This event could not have been possible without all of the help and support from the community, FFA members, Paint Creek EMS and the sponsors of the event. This event was sponsored by S&S Contractors, Dr. Rex Chiropractic, Clark Family Dentistry, Holtfield Coffee Station, Kroger, Peebles, Lowe’s and Community Markets.

All of the proceeds earned from this event go toward the FFA Chapter’s Adopt-A-Family event. With this event, members of the chapter use the 5K proceeds to purchase Christmas presents such as hygiene items, clothes and toys for local families in need.

With the help of this amazing community, the Hillsboro FFA Chapter was able to have 91 individuals in attendance and was able to raise a profit of $1,581.22. This will help support several families this holiday season. Thank you to everyone who was a part of making this event a success.
