…and we are incredibly honored to be the recipient!✨
Good news Sunday … in our 11th year of holding The Sparkle Run in honor of my daughter, Erin, who lost her battle with leukemia in 2013, we raised the most money to date! Our board is proud to announce we donated $43,500 to the Young Adult program at Above + Beyond Cancer. Erin would be 21 years and most definitely would have benefited from being part of this amazing group of young people. This brings our grand total of helping non-profits in our community to $326,194!! We could not do this without the wonderful support of our family/friends, sponsors, race participants, silent auction winners and volunteers. Save the date for our 12th annual event to be held on Sunday, May 4, 2025!!
