The gut wrenching story of the kidnapping and eventual murder of 12 year old Polly Hannah Klaas swept the nation in the early 90′s. It was a time when American’s bonded together in search of a lost little girl, wept when her lifeless body was found, and rejoiced when her killer was convicted and sentenced to death. Since that time, her father, Marc Klaas, has made it his life’s mission to educate parents and children across our nation. In memory of his little girl, the Klaas Kids Foundation for Children is a crusader in fighting for legislation such as Megan’s law and the Amber plan. They have implemented child, community, and cyber safety programs and have held countless print-a-thons to fingerprint, photograph, and collect DNA samples from thousands of children.

With a daily goal of making the world a better, safer place for children, Marc Klaas and the Klaas Kids Foundation is an incredible non-profit that deserves our help. Fireball Run is humbled and honored to partner with such an amazing cause and can proudly announce that as of Thursday, March 18th, Klaas Kids Foundation for Children is now the Official Charity and Media Partner of the Fireball Run Adventurally.

Marc and his brother will be joining the competitors at the starting line in Henderson, NV and their team, Team Polly, will journey with us until we reach the finish line in Wisconsin.
