Elise Hays from Healthy Kids Running Series (HKRS) is the invited speaker for the evening. Healthy Kids has been in Greenville since 2013, and in the spring of 2022 the torch was passed on to Hays, a native of Greenville. She is a junior at Wright State University Lake Campus with a major in Organizational Leadership. While completing her degree, she holds the title of community coordinator for HKRS in Greenville and is responsible for the organizing, marketing and raising funds for the program. Elise’s goal is to grow the program to reach the entirety of Darke County and the Troy area to provide an encouraging athletic opportunity for all children in the community. HKRS is a national non-profit with a community based approach, that helps kids develop active and healthy lifestyles from a young age. They run ages 2-14 and encourage them to “Get Up and Go!”
