3rd Annual Memorial Balloon Release & 5K Run/Walk


Releasing Grief & Celebrating Lives



The 3rd Annual Memorial Balloon Release and 5K Run/Walk is Thursday, May 24th at Jordan Valley Park! Last year, we had more than 800 people attend the event. We released approximately 2,000 environmentally friendly balloons, each representing a life that is loved and missed. We had more than 360 5K participants, many running in memory of their loved ones. We are expecting another great turnout.

We are currently seeking sponsors for the event. Sponsorship opportunities are listed below. If you are interested in sponsoring the event, please contact Ashlee Marsh at (417)865-9998 or amarsh@lostandfoundozarks.com.
