POWESHIEK COUNTY, Iowa — An annual event honoring the life of Mollie Tibbetts will help in another high-profile search in Poweshiek County. KCCI reports the fourth annual Mollie Tibbetts Memorial Run will kick off from the BGM School parking lot at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 26. The 5-mile race collects donations in Tibbetts’ memory. This year, half of the funds will go to the University of Iowa’s Stead Children’s Hospital. The other half will go toward helping to find 11-year-old Xavior Harrelson.

Xavior vanished from his Montezuma home in May. The money raised during the race will be donated to the Find Xavior Harrelson Fund which has already raised $36,000.
