A number of Lauren's friends live right in DC while others came from Boston, NYC and Atlanta. Gillian's friends came from UVA, Virginia Tech, UNC and William & Mary. One of our neighbor's daughter who is going to college to study photography took pictures throughout the day. As mentioned in a previous post, a very successful bar fundraiser was held 3 days before. Gillian created this YouTube video of the 2010 run that was shown at our pasta dinner, the night before the race.
We are very grateful for all of the support. Lauren has been busy meeting with community groups and local high schools to implement programs before the end of the school year. This is why we have raised the money - we want it to directly impact high school students. We are starting locally, but have a vision of expanding to other school systems.
Below are pictures, showcasing our new logo and t-shirts and a slideshow from the day. We hope more runners will join us for next year's event!
