Hamilton Education Foundation’s (HEF) newest fundraiser, the Charger Challenge, will be back Sept. 15 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. with more obstacles, more mud and more fun.

Event planners encourage everyone to sign up early this year because more than 200 additional participants are expected at the second annual event at Lisbon Community Park. Register by going to the fundraising tab on the HEF website.

Lots of volunteer opportunities are available for those who do not want to get muddy. More information about volunteering will be out soon.
