Kacie’s Run 2019 marked 15 years that the event was named for 2003 R. L. Turner graduate High School, Kacie Brekhus. The annual event began as the RLT Torch Run, an activity Kacie was highly involved in during her years at her alma mater. After her death in 2003, the Torch Run was renamed in Kacie’s honor and grew into a district-wide event. The event is held to raise money for CFBISD Special Olympics. The 2019 event, held Mar. 2, had over 900 registrants. Students and staff across all CFB campuses helped to raise money for the event. Rosemeade Elementary won the Most Spirited award as well as the Most Money Raised award.
