Meeting and Events Calendar

Youth ages 10-19 from southeastern Wisconsin are encouraged to participate in a logo design contest to find the best image to symbolize the message “It Just Takes One (You).” This theme is the slogan for a year-long campaign that will kick off next May to urge youth and adults to become that one individual to make a difference in their school, community, or youth center.

The winning logo designer will receive an award of $300 in cash and a $200 gift certificate! To register for the campaign, complete the registry form on this website and follow the instructions provided in the logo contest rules also provided here. Individuals can also register by going to the Running Rebels website at www.runningrebels.org. To answer questions or for more information about the logo contest, contact Makeisha Young at 1-662-577-9169 or youngmakiesha@yahoo.com.
