Thank you to those who made the first four Save Barnegat Bay 8K Running Race and Fitness Walk events a success. Whether you were a walker or a runner, a sponsor or a volunteer -- The Friends of The Save Barnegat Bay 8K couldn’t have done it without you.As we look forward to this year’s event, we should look back on what we have already accomplished.

On June 22, 2006, we held the first running race in Lavallette, N.J., in over 20 years. Since then, we have raised over $90,000, and as a result have given away close to $45,000 to our respective charities. Success such as this would not be possible without our dedicated volunteers and generous sponsors. We would like to personally thank each and every one of you.       

Your donations to this race have gone to Save Barnegat Bay, an environmental group based in Lavallette dedicated to keeping our bay clean. Your donations have also supported the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation, a group that is desperately trying to cure a fatal disease that primarily targets children under the age of 10.  In addition, your donations have helped all of the emergency services in Lavallette, ensuring that the police, fire squad and emergency response teams have the latest and best equipment to make the community safer.

Since the inception of the Save Barnegat Bay 8K Running Race and Fitness Walk, we have had over 2,500 participants. This event would not be a success if it were not for your diligence. We would also like to personally thank each and every one of you. As we look ahead, we remain committed to delivering a worthwhile event. Please come out and support us and bring some of your friends!
We hope to see you all at the Fifth Annual Save Barnegat Bay 8K Running Race and Fitness Walk on June 26 in Lavallette!

Thank you,
Members of the Board of Trustees
