The Greater Butts County Lions Club St Patricks Day Diabetic Dash 5K and Fun Run in Memory of Tyler Prine is March 15, 2025 at Red Devil Hill Athletic Complex in Jackson GA. This is our 2nd year of hosting this run. It's important to us to use the proceeds of this run to help Butts County residents with Diabetes care. Last year we were able to pay the annual fee for all of the Butts County resident patients at Rock Springs Clinic. We intend to do that this year as well as provide snack boxes in all of the Butts County schools for the nurses to use with diabetic patients.
