CHATHAM, Ill. (WCIA) — This year’s Chatham Jaycees Sweetcorn Festival 5K proceeds will be donated to honor Bradley Lund, who passed away on Monday due to the April crash involving the YNOT after school camp.

In a Thursday Facebook post, Chatham Jaycees announced that all proceeds from this year’s run/walk will be contributed to The Backyard at the Library in memory of 8-year-old Bradley Lund and the Lund Family. Lund was the fifth child to die from the crash.

“Words cannot express what the Lund family means to our community, our kids, and our organization,” Chatham Jaycees said in its post.

They are also highly encouraging early registration so they can order shirts and medals for all participants. Furthermore, Chatham Jaycees has extended the $5 registration discount until June 12.

There is also going to be an option to make additional donations on the race’s website.

The event is family friendly, so participants can run, walk or even push strollers during the race. The 50th annual Sweetcorn Festival 5K will take place from 8-10 a.m. on July 19 at 700 S Main St. Registration ends at 11:59 p.m. on July 15.

“We can’t wait to see you in July,” Chatham Jaycees said. “Let’s show up big for Bradley and continue to be together as a community.”
