The Kimberton Lions will host their 18th annual 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, Sept. 24. The event will be held at the Kimberton Fair Grounds. Sign ups start at 8a.m.; races start at 9a.m. Kimberton Lions are a nonprofit, total volunteer organization that raises funds to assist those in the local community with sight and vision issues. They collect used eye glasses and donate to many local organizations including Leader Dog, Beacon Lodge, Mom’s House, PACS and Chester County Association for the Blind. There are cash prizes available along with door prizes and a Kids Fun Run. To sign up or to become a sponsor, visit kimbertonrun. com or kimbertonlions.com.
