5K Fun Run Follow-Up
added 12/17/08
The Co-op is thrilled to report that last fall’s first-annual 5K Food Bank Fun Run exceeded all goals and expectations—setting the bar high for similar events to follow.
Organizers Dave Phillips and Anita Bowes from the Lebanon Co-op worked ceaselessly on their own time to help pull the event together and find sponsors, hoping to raise $500 to give to the Listen food bank to help needy families during the long New England winter. The event raised more than $800 instead, and because of a matching grant from a major Co-op vendor—Associated Grocers—the final total was doubled to more than $1,600.
Thanks to all the sponsors, organizers, and runners (of course!).
