Thanks to your continued support and dedication, this first-ever event was a huge success! WE are so incredibly grateful for all of you. Your willingness, time, talent, hard work, positive energy, and enthusiasm of support allows us to continue to make a positive impact in our communities. WE are very fortunate to have so many supportive businesses/organizations and individuals alongside us. Thank you for believing in our missions and joining us to help us achieve our goals. We were able to raise a total of $6685.00 to donate to the Cops, Kids and Toys to provide gifts for the kids during the holidays and the Cayuga Cancer Center to provide assistance to cancer patients and their families. Incredible for our very first 5K Walk-A-Thon. A special THANK YOU to our local law enforcement officers who helped us make this happen, our very own Q Country 103.7 Chris Allinger for his continuing incredible support, Texas Roadhouse-Joe & Kelsey Root, our volunteers, Chrome Divas of Ithaca & Chrome Divas of Watertown and The Shops at Ithaca Mall. WE could not do this without YOU ALL — THANK YOU. ♥️ Looking forward to another successful 5K Walk-A-Thon next year! Thank you to all our business and community sponsors! Check out that amazing table of donations! We are so grateful to you for your generosity.
