Tiger Day 5K The Carolina Tiger Rescue held its inaugural virtual race to raise funds for the animals at its sanctuary. Individuals and teams were encouraged to walk, run or ride in a 5K race anytime between July 24 and July 29. “We raised $41,009 and had over 700 participants,” says Louise Orr, communications director for the rescue. “For our first-ever virtual 5K, we’re so proud of how many people signed up and so thankful for all of the support and awesome pictures we received!” Another way to stay in touch with the rescue this year and keep your kids engaged in online learning is to let their teachers know that it also offers virtual field trips and tours throughout the semester. Education Director Katie Cannon will work with educators to accommodate any curriculum needs. CM
