Early Saturday morning on May 3^rd, Carl D. Perkins students headed out at 6:00 am to assist the East KY Racers with their Ultimate 5K run in Prestonsburg, Ky. The proceeds of the race went to the Floyd County Animal Shelter. The Shelter which is currently in need of major repairs and expansion due to the overwhelming number of animals they have rescued.

Perkins students Marshall Watts, Jacob Taylor, Mark Hiester and Travis Digregorio dressed up as zombies, threw mud and color powder at racers as they passed by them, and gave out doughnuts during the food challenge along the course. The students all agreed that it was worth giving their time, to ensure all the animals continue to receive the services that the shelter provides.
