Celebrate Silas and Foot Traffic
Hello Friends of Celebrate Silas!

Foot Traffic has a training program called Foot Traffic University and in support of Celebrate Silas, Foot Traffic will kick back 25% of the registration cost to The Dougy Center on any registration using the code “SILAS5K”. You get a supportive training program and The Dougy Center gets a donation in Silas’ name. Below is some information about Foot Traffic University.
