Board allows airport St. Jude run/walk to proceed if insurance and waivers are adequate
Summary
Organizers of a run/walk fundraiser on the airport runway for St. Jude Children's Hospital received board approval to proceed contingent on certificates of insurance, applicable waivers and county attorney sign-off.
An organizer proposing a fundraiser at the airport described plans for a run/walk to raise funds for St. Jude Children's Hospital and said donations would go directly to St. Jude via a QR code. Organizers committed to a single controlled entrance, waivers and paper wristbands for participants and staff confirmed they are working to secure insurance naming the airport as additional insured.
"I would like to apologize for having it published in the paper... I wasn't thinking," the organizer said, explaining it was their first time hosting a public event. Airport staff and counsel said the airport would be added as additional insured and that certificates of insurance and waivers would be reviewed by the county attorney. The board approved proceeding with the event when all insurance and legal benchmarks are met.
