Company description
Yearly, Metung Fun Run invites Metung business owners and residents of all ages to experience the fun of running for a cause. Running to give happiness. They have helpful sponsors that help to contribute to the Metung Primary School’s facilities, a small school but, it has a long standing history in the community in helping to educate local children. They also help to make the community and children to be strong now and into the future. Metung Primary and the families who have children attending thank these wonderful businesses for their contributions. And now, they will raise funds with the Lions club to run and maintain their recently purchased Community Bus.
