This challenge is one that kids are capable of doing and one that you will find rewarding.  We challenge every runner to bring to the race a "carepak" to donate to OWLS to give to a homeless orphan who needs it more than you do.

A Carepak is last year's backpack filled with last year's clothes and other thinks a homeless orphan will need.  To make it more special on both ends add a picture of yourself and your family so that the kid who receives your carepak will know who cares about them.

This is something a kid can do without asking mom and dad for a check or to pay for something at the store.  The only thing you will need from your parents is permission.
