Congratulations to all of our runners and volunteers! And thanks to our sponsors and supporters, we appreciate your donations and support. (Click the photo to see a larger version.)

The car wash raised a total of $384, the yard sale raised a total of $400. With just a little effort, help, and support from the community, we were able to bring almost $800 more  in and had a blast doing both events!

Thanks to Rebecca, Emily and all the others who volunteered their time… and to everyone who attended the events.

Remember… the Run kicks-off this Friday, August 6th at 5:30pm on Washington Square!

We have a MANDATORY SAFETY MEETING this upcoming Wednesday, July 28^th at 6:30 pm.  The meeting will be located at the Quincy Medical Group Sports Medicine building that has been the site of our regular runner meetings.

At this meeting  you will be receiving your runner bags with the St. Jude t-shirts, safety vests, stickers, motor home assignments, and a chance to review the run route and put your name where you would like to run.

You will also be learning about how much safety is emphasized on our run.  It is our goal not only to raise as much money and awareness for St. Jude Children’s Hospital, but to also make sure everyone has a fun time and a SAFE journey along the way.

Lastly, attached is our 2010 runner pledge form that Bridget would like you to have filled out and ready to turn in at the Safety meeting.  You will need to fill in your donation amount that you have received offline, online, and the total amount.

Remember, you have until October 1^st to raise your $500, so please keep that in mind as you fill out your pledge sheet.

Thanks!

Congratulations and thanks to Jen Kamps and Angie Asmann for the great work they did at the 2nd Annual Quincy St. Jude Spin-A-Thon.

Thanks to their efforts, and the support of other St. Jude runners, $4,231 was raised!

That’s a tremendous amount of money, and it’s all going to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. We’d like to thank everyone who participated and donated to the Run. Your efforts and donations touched lives.

Thanks again to Jen, Angie, the Quincy YMCA, our volunteers and donors… and see YOU at next year’s Spin-A-Thon!
