The event included designer sunglasses as prizes and a live broadcast from Y98, a Sparkle the Clown, a stiltwalker and Fred Bird of the St. Louis Cardinals. All proceeds benefited the Clarkson Eyecare Foundation. The 5K journey around Forest Park of St. Louis raised funds essential to improving on the many programs of the Clarkson Eyecare Foundation.
