The Corpus Christi Education Foundation hosted the 9th Annual CCEF Hearts & Minds 5K. More than 1,600 runners registered to brave the cold weather and run or walk to support our students.

The run, which remains one of the largest 5K events in Corpus Christi, brought together CCISD students, coaches, employees and community members for a memorable event.

Thank you to all coaches who ran alongside and encouraged our students, and thank you to all CCISD employees who volunteered their time to help. We are grateful for the Corpus Christi Education Foundation for organizing this event. Thank you to our sponsors for their continued support.
