LONG POST HERE.... and it's a day late.
Thank you SO much to all of you who contributed to the 2023 One Human Race 5K Run/Walk! It was our smallest crowd ever, but you all made a HUGE impact.
First off, my friends who got up early to support my students and me, some to volunteer and others to participate, even if some of you are not morning people. I am thankful that you are “my” people: Colleen Hall Smith, Suzie Gehalo Alden, Bobby Conley Jr, Erin Demmy Boyd, Mary Kay Feldman Haenn, Danilo Mangiapane, Will Alcius, the Santalla family (Kelsey, Rosie and Miguel), the Ellis family (Maria Ellis, Ariana & Jaxson), our awesome trainer and her equally awesome family (Stephanie Jeane Ragoonanan and Carlton and their sweet girls), Thom Croce and Alyssa Kraft. I’m hoping I did not leave anybody out.
And of course, we are so grateful to our sponsors:
• Our sponsors since day one: Spin City DJs and T-shirt Express—you have been so loyal, and you’ve stuck with us, even with last minute changes requiring quick fixes.
• Anonymous donors (x2)—People who are passionate about our causes but enjoy staying out of the spotlight—you know who you are!
• Freedom Life Church
• Marble.com
• Pulte Group
• Il Primo’s
• Suzie Alden
• Erick’s Painting
• CM Awards & Gifts
• Suzie Alden
• Cristina Ferrer
And then… everyone who donated to the goody bags—Cari Funk, Carolyn Kinderman, Ashley Marie, Maria Ellis, anonymous #1 and #2…
Thank you everyone! We were able to raise enough money for two small scholarships for this year’s seniors! If anyone wants to donate, please let me know!
(And if I forgot you, please forgive me and let me know, so I can update my post!)
