Brinks Home Security teams with Mission 500 for annual 5K

Brinks Home Security is teaming with Mission 500 for the company's third annual Brinks Home Security 5K on Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018, in Farmers Branch, Texas. Desiree Linden, the fastest woman in the 2018 Boston Marathon, will join the event as a special guest. Organizers are hoping to top last year's total of more than $35,000 to support children and communities in need throughout North Texas including those affected by Hurricane Florence.

For those who can't attend the event, there is an option to sign up as a “virtual runner” with all proceeds to benefit Mission 500, a nonprofit organization that works closely with the security industry to serve the needs of children and communities in crisis.

“We're proud that the Brinks Home Security 5K is becoming a signature event each fall,” Jeff Gardner, Brinks Home Security president and CEO said in the announcement. “We are especially excited that Des Linden will be running in this year's race to help us make an impact in our community.”

The race is open to people of all ages. Participants can register now and find more information at brinkshomesecurity5k.com. Registration is $35 and cash prizes and trophies are planned for the top finishers in several categories.

Mission 500 is once again partnering with Brinks Home Security for this year's event. Corporate sponsorships are available at the Platinum, Gold and Silver levels, and in-kind sponsorships (product donations) are also encouraged. Sponsor benefits include a table at the event, company logo on event marketing materials, verbal recognition, and the opportunity to increase the sponsor's profile within the local community.

Corporate sponsors include Alarm.com and Cyber Group (Platinum); CDE Tech Solutions (Gold); KMPG, MFB Business Solutions, Northern Lights Direct, and USI Southwest (Silver); and SMB Suite (Bronze). In Kind sponsors include Alpha Graphics and Three Nations Brewery.
