Benefit helps children

To the Editor:

A year ago, Mike Splitt of the Crystal Lake Kiwanis had an idea: A Santa run that would benefit five agencies in the county that served children: Girls on the Run, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), The Light Center/Mainstay, Turning Point and my own organization, Big Brothers Big Sisters. 

On Dec. 2, Mike’s hard work paid off. More than 700 runners suited up in Santa suits and ran a 5K through downtown Crystal Lake that raised more than $30,000 for those five groups.
