The 2019 Retro Glow Event benefitting Aurora House Foundation will take place on Saturday, June 8,
2019 at the Mayor Pablo Peña Park, located at 300 North Airport Drive in Weslaco. This year the event is a 2-
in-1 event – a 1-mile Kids Run and a 5K Glow Run. The schedule for the day is:
6:00 PM – 6:30 PM – Costume Contest/Warm Up
6:30 PM – 7:00 PM – 1-Mile Fun Run
7:00 PM – 8:00 PM – 5K Run/Walk
This is an 80’s themed event, and costumes are encouraged. We will have a DJ, Zumba, a photo booth,
other photo ops, sponsor booths, and since the powder paint used for the run is “glow in the dark,” there
will be a black light dance party to continue the fun. Bring your best 80’s costume and come ready for a
good time!
The mission of Aurora House is to provide compassionate end-of-life care for residents of the RGV who face

they deserve.
