Kids Shopping Day of Lawrence County is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization dedicated to helping the children of Lawrence County. Each year in August, children county wide are invited to our one-day event during which they receive everything they need to start their school year off right; clothes, shoes, toiletries, school supplies, backpacks and much more!
In 2010, Kids Shopping Day of Lawrence County hosted the 1st Annual Kids Shopping Day 5K and 1 Mile Family Fun Run. The event was a tremendous success, drawing nearly 300 participants. The proceeds from the event enabled KSD to help hundreds of Lawrence County kids start their school year off right with new clothes, shoes and school supplies. In 2011, the event was once again a success with nearly 300 participants. 588 kids were served with the event's proceeds.
In 2012, we decided to expand the event to include a Half Marathon along with the 5K and 1 Mile Family Fun Run . With this expansion brought a new name; Southern Illinois Spring Classic. Our name has changed, but our mission remains the same...helping the children of Lawrence County!
