MINDS OVER MATTER Sag Harbor 5k Run: Wrap Up & Upcoming Events!
GLK Foundation | Friday, May 14th, 2010 | No Comments »I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our runners, volunteers and sponsors who came out for the 2010 MOM 5k Race in Sag Harbor this past Saturday. Despite the on and off rain, 236 runners crossed the line and at this point, it looks like we have raised over $12,000, all of which will go towards GLK’s yearly goal of $50,000. All donations will help fund our three year $75,000 commitment to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, GLK’s annual caregiver grant, and scholarships at Pierson High School and Pace University’s School of Nursing. It is because of all of you that GLK and MINDS OVER MATTER are able to continue our journey in finding a cure for brain tumors. Race results can be found at http://www.flrrt.com/results/results.html.
Thank you again to Laurie DeVito and her 4th grade art class for designing the 2010 race t-shirt where “Everyone’s A Winner!” Jordan (my sister) and I had a great time at Sag Harbor Elementary’s Morning Sing this past Friday and we hope to make the MOM 5k t-shirt design an island-wide competition from now on each year!
NOW, I would like to give a very special thanks to John Cottrell of Town Line Tech Solutions - http://townlinetech.com - for generously extending his expertise, acting as our technical advisor, both managing and designing GLK’s website and online registration system for the past two years. GLK would not be where we are without your talents! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Race pictures will be posted on www.glkfoundation.org by the end of May.
