Wake Up Tri-Counties Samantha Talks Braveheart 5K, Flag-Raising Ceremony for Donate Life Month, OSF Golf Classic, and Golf Safety

Samantha Rux from OSF HealthCare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss the Braveheart Children's Advocacy Center's annual Superhero 5K, in which OSF Saint Luke is a sponsor and participant, National Donate Life Month, the Flag-Raising Ceremony, and the Golf Classic's return. The Braveheart Children's Advocacy Center is gearing up for its annual Superhero 5K and resource fair this Saturday, April 18th, at the entrance to Baker’s Park. The event features family-friendly activities like bubbles for kids and an array of local resource tables. OSF HealthCare will be on hand as a sponsor and participant. April marks National Donate Life Month. Organ and tissue donation awareness takes center stage this month, as OSF HealthCare gears up for its annual flag-raising ceremony on April 28th. The event will feature a local family sharing their donation story, highlighting the life-saving importance of this cause. Golfers can also get excited—the OSF Golf Classic returns June 1st, with team registrations and sponsorships now open on OSF’s Facebook page and website. As the golf season gets underway, experts stress the importance of stretching and hydration to prevent injury, along with sun protection—even on cloudy days.
