ShamRock 'n Run 2021 Update
Over the past eight years, one of the REACH Foundation's favorite traditions is bringing the Placentia-Yorba Linda community together for the ShamRock 'n Run 5K & 2K Fun Run. Thousands of families participated in this festive, fun community event while raising funds to support enrichment programs and events for our students. We had a successful virtual run in October 2020; however, due to the Orange Country Health Department's guidelines, the 2021 ShamRock 'n Run will be postponed until further notice. We may be back in the fall of 2021 or spring of 2022. We will keep you posted!
