Von Braun Center Wants You at Its Birthday Party!

Von Braun Center Wants You at Its Birthday Party!

Did you know that Mayor Tommy Battle proclaimed March 2015 Von Braun Center month? What better way to celebrate than participate in the Von Braun Music Run and Open House?

Come out March 21 from 9:00-2:00 and enjoy a fun family day while we celebrate our Von Braun Center’s 40th birthday! There is something for everyone starting the day with a 5k and Fun Run (where you can run, walk, skip, dance or have someone push your stroller). If that isn’t your idea of fun, make sure to come support your favorite runner and then tour the VBC. The VBC Open House will spotlight all the programs offered throughout the year.
