Unusual race raises money for orphanage
This Saturday, May 14, hop on over to North Rockford Middle School to watch or participate in an unusual hippity-hop relay race. Teams may sign up at the event for $100 per person online at www.quack-back.com.
“What is a hippity-hop relay?” you may ask. It is your opportunity to sit on a big hippity-hop ball, also called a “jumping ball” and hop around half the length of a track. Teams of four will take turns hopping legs to complete a half-mile race! Hippity-hop balls will be provided for use on the day of the race for those registered. Don’t worry, there will be adult sizes and kids sizes available! This is a great opportunity to get out with your family, business, youth group, college dorm, etc. and raise money for a local charity caring for kids around the world. We guarantee that laughs will abound, and it will be a fun time for racers and spectators alike. The relay is scheduled for Saturday, May 14 and will be held at the North Rockford Middle School track. To participate, teams of 4 must submit the registration form and a minimum of $100 (per team) in raised funds for WAR, International. Registration forms can be obtained at quack-back.com. Due to hippity-hop logistics, the event is limited to the first 100 teams to register.
