Spirited Event Supports Einstein’s ECHO Free Clinic
The colorful and cheerful “5K Einstein Spirit Walk-Run Race” to benefit the ECHO Free Clinic drew 85 walkers, runners, and racers on Sunday morning, October 24. The event began and ended at the housing courtyard and, as they approached the finish line, spectators showered participants with cups of colored powder made of food-grade cornstarch.
