WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The Young Singers of the Palm Beaches is hosting its 5K on Saturday in Okeeheelee Park in West Palm Beach.
"The 5K is really important because 32% of our children that sing with us need financial assistance to be able to participate. So the 5K funds those, those students, so it's really important that everybody that wants to participate can," said Melanie Blankstein, the managing director for the Young Singers.

The 5K starts at 8 a.m. and participants are asked to arrive by 7:30 a.m. to pick up shirts and participate in a warm-up and line up. Registration costs $35.
