TrusteEs MESSAGE
Thank you to those who made the first five Lavallette 8K Running Race and Fitness Walk events a success. Whether you were a walker or a runner, a sponsor or a volunteer -- we 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 given away over $50,000 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 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.
Your generosity will continue to assist these worthwile organizations. In addition you have also supported the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation, a group that is desperately trying to cure fatal diseases that primarily target children under the age of 10.
In the past, your donations have also gone to Save Barnegat Bay , an environmental group based in Lavallette dedicated to keeping our bay clean. Although our five-year affiliation with this organization has ended, we are looking ahead to a future of continued charitable giving to our other organizations.
Since the inception of the Lavallette 8K Running Race and Fitness Walk, we have had over 3,000 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 meaningful event. Please come out and support us and bring some of your friends!
We hope to see you all at the Sixth Annual Lavallette 8K Running Race and Fitness Walk on June 25 in Lavallette!
Thank you,
Members of the Board of Trustees
