Our SECOND ANNUAL 5K and 1-MILE RUN was a GREAT success! A HUGE THANK YOU to EVERYBODY who made it possible!! The Fairfield Police and Explorers were amazing. They made sure everybody was SAFE which was obviously our #1 priority. Our generous sponsors who helped to make it all happen: ~Au Pair in America who, in addition to providing financial support, co-sponsored and co-hosted the International-Themed Kids Tent and had local au pairs help keep so many kids happy and occupied while their parents and siblings ran the race. ~Taco Loco for being there onsite with their Truck at the Finish Line and providing all the delicious food and refreshments to our runners. ~Sportsplex@Fairfield for providing most of our fabulous raffle prizes and other support. And to our other sponsors who provided valuable financial support for both the event and our mission: Silver Sponsors: Broder & Orland Stopa Landscaping Harvey Bluestein, M.D. Sono Baking Company Soundview IT Solutions Bronze Sponsors: Robik-Glantz Builders, LLC Marquee Pools Fin Japanese Restaurant 55 Wine Bar and Restaurant And special thanks to: ~ @Lisa Burger Burger from Au Pair in America and Amy Yazbak for managing the Kids Tent and recruiting volunteers to take care of the kids ~ Regina Madwed for capturing the whole morning in photographs (coming soon!) ~Cathy Dunsby for managing the door prizes ~Ryan Fedak, Andrew Denicola, Gabe Weitzman, Connor Levinson and Carrington Edmonson for donating their time and talent to provide music for the entire morning ~ Girl Scout Troops #30448 and #30284 for handing water out to runners during the 5K (after many of them ran the 1-mile themselves!) ~ The Fundraisers who helped us to raise even more money this year ~The countless friends and family from (they know who they are and so do we :-)) that volunteered their time in the week before and especially the day of the Event (many beginning before sunrise and many traveling quite a distance to be here) - without each and every one of them this event would not have been possible........... And finally, of course, to all the runners who came out. We had almost 500 runners register between both races and raised more money than last year, which was just INCREDIBLE!! Hope to see you all again next year!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
