The Buck Fifty is the funding machine that helps support 15 local high school chapters of Drug Free Clubs of America. This program has changed the culture in these schools as over 50% of these teens have volunteered to join and committed to living a drug free lifestyle.

These are the inspirational stories behind the race and cause we've gathered since 2015.
