Poway Days Parade and 5K Turning 50 in September

Written by Bill Stoudenmire

The Rotary Club of Poway-Scripps proudly presents the 50th Annual Poway Days Parade on Saturday, September 6.

The day will begin with a 5K race starting at 7:00 a.m., running up and down Poway Road from Community to Pomerado and finishing in the Community Park. The run is being put on by the Rotary Club with tremendous support from the U.S. Army. Also, from 7-10 a.m., the Poway Kiwanis Club will host a Pancake Breakfast at the Boys & Girls Club.

The 50th Poway Days Parade begins at 9:00 a.m., along the traditional route. We have assurances from 5 high school marching bands.

Following the parade, the Soroptimists are hosting their annual MotorHead Madness event in the parking lot of the Boys & Girls Club. Finally, at 11, the Poway Chamber of Commerce will host a Poway Days Picnic in the park with food, entertainment and fun for the kids. 

Donations are being sought to make this 5K and parade the best ever and we hope everyone will want to participate. Sponsorship packages begin at the $5,000 Title Sponsor level. There are Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Copper levels as well and each includes a special list of benefits like preferential placement in the parade, grandstand seating, invite to the VIP breakfast, link on the Poway Parade website, inclusion in advertisements and event fliers. 

To make a donation or to get complete sponsor package details contact Pam McCormick at pammccormick@hotmail.com or call 858-354-7335.
