We are very excited to announce the Italian Cultural Center's first annual 5K Fun Run/Walk, scheduled to be held at Como Lake, in St. Paul, on Saturday, July 25th, 2015!! Our committee members and volunteers are busily preparing what will be a new tradition at the ICC, and we hope to keep you informed and involved as our plans take shape.

The run/walk will begin at 9:00 a.m., directly across the Lakeside Pavillion in the Como Lake area. The course will include two laps of the lake. Prizes will be awarded to the 1st and 2nd place winners, and because the ICC is a proud sponsor of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's Leonardo da Vinci Codex Leicester Exhibit, the prizes will include a pair of vouchers to the exhibit. Additional prizes will be awarded the day of the event.

Since you may have an interest in supporting the events and functions of the Italian Cultural Center of Minneapolis/St. Paul, we wish to give you the opportunity to contribute to the Fun Run/Walk 2015 as a sponsor. As mentioned, the ICC is a current sponsor of the Leonardo da Vinci Exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and the July 25th event will be recognized by the MIA, offering wonderful exposure for our sponsors.

Any donation will be accepted and greatly appreciated, however with a commitment of $250.00, your name will appear on the run day t-shirt, as well as on the ICC website. Donations at a lesser amount will include recognition on the ICC website only. A sponsorship form is here for your information, and you may register to participate on the ICC website.

Your donations are tax deductible and can easily be made online at www.theitalianculturalcenter.org, or sent to:
