According to the Brentwood Rotary website, their mission is “Service above Self,” and the money raised will help fund scholarships for Brentwood high school students.

“Rotary helps out both globally and locally,” Vidriales said. “The race committee is focused on adding more money for high school scholarships, for the high schools, Liberty and Heritage, along with La Paloma High School and Independence High School.”

Not only do such events help raise funds for local and global causes, but they also encourage community involvement, organizers said.

“It’s not always easy to organize community events like this one where family and leisure time are largely sacrificed, but it’s so worth it,” Vidriales said. “When we look at how blessed and fortunate we are to live in a great city like Brentwood,‘Service above Self’ is really a simple lifestyle. If more people in our community come to realize the importance of community events like this one and support them in every way possible. It’s unimaginable but we would take the meaning of #betterinbrentwood to an even higher level.”
