Active Lifestyle Events Inc

To receive and administer funds for scientific, educational, civic, athletic, patriotic, cultural, social, and charitable purposes, and to more specifically encourage and foster active lifestyles. At this time the primary activity is the Joplin Memorial Run, usually held in May, and includes a half, 5K run and kids run in honor of the 161 victims of the May 22, 2011 tornado in Joplin, MO. Proceeds of the event allows us to support other 501 (c) 3 organizations, and to create and operate other active lifestyle type of events in the future. In our first year (2012) we were able to contribute over $30,000 to local charities. Our 2013 mission was to produce 161 banners in honor of the victims, which will be proudly displayed year after year at this signature event. In 2013 over $20,000 was donated and the banners were displayed proudly for the first time. Moving forward we continue to support other like efforts. In 2022 the cloth banners were replaced with a permanent 17-foot sculpture.
