| A mom and son volunteer experience |
It’s a great experience to see people come together for a good cause. Recently in Ypsilanti, MI, a 5k run was held that benefited local charities. The tag line for this event was “The happiest 5k run on the planet.”
I quickly learned why this race was dubbed the “happiest” 5K. My role as a volunteer was to throw color on the runners as they passed through the Pink zone. Of course I used this event as an opportunity to teach my son the altruistic value of volunteerism.

The outcome
of the 5K event was charities receiving funds, people laughing, having fun, and
a teen with a new perspective on volunteering.
