THANK YOU PARTICIPANTS!!

Proceeds from the annual Labor Day "Run with Carl" benefit Bettendorf and Pleasant Valley students. The 2018 race raised over $14,000 for each foundation and proceeds are used to fund scholarships for graduating Seniors in both districts and are also used to support innovative classroom grants in BCSD.  We could not do it with YOU!
