UPDATE FROM THE RUN, RUN, FUNDRAISER "FEED THE KIDS BACKPACK" PROGRAM
Posted by Suzette Matthews on May 01, 2017
THANK YOU Canton Rotarians for your generous, heartfelt support of the 2017 Canton Rotary Run, Run, Run-Raiser Feed The Kids Backpack Program.
In just two weeks, your donations raised $1650 (exceeding our $1500 Goal) and will now fill 550 backpacks for Canton City School kids in need.
Denny Fuhlmer and I (Suzette Matthews), dedicated our 2017 Canton Hall of Fame ½ Marathon (all 13.1 miles) Runs on Sunday, April 30, 2017, to this effort and thank you for helping us to get this project running!
It was a sunny, warm, rewarding day for Denny and for me, and we were very proud to run for such a worthy cause. Definitely worth the months of running and training, and the 22,000+ steps and 2+ hours of running on Sunday, to help feed kids in our community. And thank you to the Rotarians cheering us on along the Race Route, a great unexpected boost to see fellow Rotarians for sure! Thank you.
Again, thank you Canton Rotarians, for making a difference with kids in our own community. God bless you.
