    MURFREESBORO, TN, September 08, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Orthodontist Dr. Warren Johnson and his orthodontic team know how to have a good time sponsoring community events in Murfreesboro, TN. Their team joined family and friends at 7 AM Saturday morning August 15th to support a fund-raising event for Friends of Fenton Payne and Fred5K Run/Walk. Dr Johnson has been a major sponsor of the fund raising event since it began seven years ago.

The 5K Run/Walk started on MTSU's (Middle Tennessee State University) campus and worked its way down historic East Main Street to the courthouse square and back again in Murfreesboro. The run is organized by the Nashville Striders and is a certified, championship timed event. This year 846 runners and walkers participated. They consisted of both serious runners and those there to socialize and get some aerobic exercise on a beautiful morning. The youngest participant to register was 4 years old and the oldest was 89.

The run is named in honor of Dr. Fenton Payne Hardison and Dr. Fred R. Lovelace. It is the signature fund-raising event for Friends of Fenton Payne and Fred, a non-profit program that helps raise proceeds for the Blue Raider Athletic Association and the Primary Care and Hope Clinic. "Payne and Fred were friends and colleagues whom I worked with and greatly admired for more than 30 years," mentioned Dr Warren Johnson. "The Blue Raider Athletic Association and the Primary Care and Hope Clinic are both very worthy community programs in need of our support in Murfreesboro."

All proceeds raised from the event provide scholarships for MTSU athletes and benefit programs at the Primary Care and Hope Clinic. This year more than $29,000 was raised from sponsors, not including the totals raised from the registration fees.

Warren Johnson further stated, "It's been a pleasure being a major sponsor of the run since its inception 7 years ago. It is an annual event the whole family can enjoy from kids to grandparents."

This year's run had a "Super Hero" theme and Dr. Johnson won the award for "Best Superhero Business Costume" as well as the award for "Most Participants from a Business". Dr. Johnson's team consisted of 20 participants made up of his family, his staff, and their children.
