JMHS & JM Foundation Hosts Successful Kids Obstacle Course at Riverfest

Johnson Memorial Health Services (JMHS) and the JM Foundation kicked off Riverfest on Thursday, June 26, with a vibrant Kids Obstacle Course at the Dawson-Boyd Community Center. Sixty-seven eager   participants navigated the fun and engaging course, showcasing their energy and determination.

Obstacle courses spanned across all three gym courts, with separate courses for kids aged 5-7 and 8-12-year-olds. The event’s smooth execution was made possible by the dedication of 28 JMHS staff volunteers whose teamwork created a memorable experience for all.
