Fifth Third Bank has made a $7,000 donation to Southwestern Michigan College for Steve’s Run. Due to the pandemic, a virtual run will be held this year from July 25 through August 1. SMC President Joe Odenwald says a “virtual run this year supports the race’s ultimate goal — raising funds for cancer research and the Steven Briegel scholarship while practicing social distancing.” Participants can run or walk their favorite route at a preferred time anytime between Saturday, July 25 and Saturday, August 1. Those who sign up by Sunday, July 5, at will be mailed a race T-shirt. When they’re finished, runners can share their time and a photo wearing the T-shirt to the Steve’s Run Facebook page, and top runners will be recognized on the page once the race is done. Odenwald accepted Fifth Third Bank’s contribution to the cause this week.
