TeenX asks Cedar City to promote May 3 ‘Space Race’ 5K to support homeless students
Summary
TeenX representatives asked the council to include a May 3 Space Race 5K at Veterans Park on the mayor's newsletter, city calendar and youth council channels; the event aims to raise funds and resources to support more than 350 homeless students in Iron County.
Representatives of TeenX addressed the council during the public-comment period to request city help promoting a fundraising 5K.
Casen Wood introduced the group and described TeenX as “a nonprofit organization that helps extraordinary teens create a culture of confidence.” He said the Space Race is set for May 3 at Veterans Park, starts at 9 a.m., and aims to raise money and provide resources for “the over 350 homeless students in Iron County.” Wood asked to be included in the mayor’s newsletter, the city calendar and to collaborate with the city youth council.
Council members invited TeenX representatives to attend an upcoming youth city council meeting to share details; staff offered to post flyers in the foyer and to include the event in an April newsletter if organizers provide materials before the end of the month. Councilors expressed support and suggested youth-council and social-media promotion.
Next steps: TeenX to leave flyers and provide event details so staff can include the event in the city newsletter and calendar.
