What Do You Get When You Mix a Bunch of Camels and Tomatoes?

What Do You Get When You Mix a Bunch of Camels and Tomatoes? The 4th Annual East Nashville Tomato 5K to benefit the local YMCA

It’s 90 degrees with 100 percent humidity, and the mere thought of stepping outside leaves sweat stains on your shirt. It would be madness to run in this heat. That’s right. It’s ’mater madness. As in Tomato 5K madness.

A local herd of do‐gooders is inviting everyone to double‐knot their running shoes and run around Historic East Nashville during the 4th Annual East Nashville Tomato 5K on Saturday, August 8. It’s all part of the Tomato Art Fest, voted “Best Festival” in the 2007 and 2008 Nashville Scene Reader’s Polls. Presented by charity fundraising group Camels with a Cause (CWAC), the Tomato 5K benefits the Margaret Maddox Family YMCA’s We Build People campaign. With the funds raised, people who could not otherwise afford a membership with the YMCA have the opportunity to experience everything the organization has to offer.

“The members of Camels with a Cause are excited about helping the Margaret Maddox Family YMCA continue to provide exceptional programs, facilities, and resources to the East Nashville community,” said Mark Scrivner, Director of Operations at cj Advertising and Board Member at Margaret Maddox Family YMCA.

Camels, Cardio, and Culture
CWAC’s current objective is to recruit at least 1,000 walkers, joggers, and runners to participate in the event. Tomato 5K participants will enjoy a guided foot tour through the heart of Historic East Nashville’s neighborhoods as they stride past Victorian‐era architecture while burning calories and absorbing local culture. Maybe even picking up some tomato‐inspired artwork.

Did Someone Say “Camel”?
Camels with a Cause (CWAC) is cj Advertising’s conduit of support for various charitable organizations. The project is empowered by a staff of more than 60 at the agency with 100 percent of funds donated to charity.
