The 4th Annual Mollie Tibbetts Memorial Run will take place Sunday, September 26th and begins at the BGM school in Brooklyn, Iowa, at 8:30 a.m. Laura Calderwood, Tibbetts’ mother, announced in August that she will donate half of the proceeds from her daughter’s memorial run toward the reward fund for missing Montezuma 11-year-old Xavior Harrelson who disappeared May 27th. Calderwood said she knows the deep pain of missing a child.

Organizers will be collecting free-will donations. Half of this year’s donations will be sent to the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital in Mollie’s honor and the other half will be donated to the Xavior Harrelson Reward Fund, established by the Poweshiek County Sheriff’s Office. Mollie Tibbetts Memorial apparel will be available until October 8th to help continue to raise funds. You can purchase through Mollie’s Movement by Clicking Here.

Brandie Flathers has organized Mollie’s Memorial Run for three years, raising almost $18,000 for the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital. “Giving back to others has always been a thing that others have always said Mollie was great at,” Flathers said.

Volunteers and authorities have been searching for Xavior since his disappearance on May 27th and continue to request information about his whereabouts. The Finding Xavior Harrelson & Mollie’s Movement are raising awareness about Xavior’s disappearance, through social media and by mailing and posting flyers across Iowa and the nation.

Anyone with information on the disappearance of Xavior Harrelson should call 911 or the Poweshiek County Sheriff’s Office at 641-623-5679.
