Summary

The 2013 Island Boodle 5K was scheduled for October 5 as part of the Bite of Beaver weekend. The Beaver Beacon identifies the Sports Booster Club as the beneficiary. Forum notices document the need for event volunteers and a post-event organizer thank-you describes turnout for the broader weekend as good.

Evidence limits

The held sources do not provide a verified runner/walker count, course results, or proceeds total. The positive turnout statement is an organizer report and should not be treated as an audited measure.

Organizer sought volunteers because the volleyball team would be away and the soccer team had a home game. This documents event staffing pressure and the Sports Boosters connection, not attendance or proceeds.

Post-event follow-up reports a good online and in-person turnout for the giveaway and thanks people who came to boodle, shop, and attend related activities. This is an organizer account, not an attendance or financial audit.
