Last month, local adventure racers raised $2,239 for the Child Advocacy Center.

The Lancaster County Deputy Sheriff’s Association (Fraternal Order of  Police Lodge 29) and the Nebraska Sports Council co-sponsored The Link / FOP 29 Race race Aug. 2 in Lincoln, said Capt. Ben Houchin.

The 37 teams and 101 competitors ran, biked and paddled kayaks in the adventure race, which began and ended at Pioneers Park, Houchin said.

Susan Beckmann, developmental coordinator for the Child Advocacy Center, said the organization would put the funds toward general operating costs.

The center serves children who are victims of alleged physical or sexual assault, Beckmann said.
