“We love our community and enjoy being an active participant in local events,” said Charlie Eads, vice president and general manager of Eads Broadcasting Corporation. “We are excited to sponsor the Samaritan Walk Run Roll and help raise funds for those that need it most.”

The $40 entry fee to participate in the race will benefit Samaritan Health Services’ Patient Support Program. Currently, 486 community members are benefiting from this program through assistance with expenses such as medical bills, transportation, prescriptions, nutritional supplements and groceries. In 2019, the program distributed $45,000 in assistance in Benton, Lincoln and Linn counties.
