2011 Footrace Frenzy

We were blessed to have Turkey Hill bring all that great ice cream, all the way from Pennsylvania, for us to enjoy and we give a special thanks also to Walgreens for their great packets for each participant.  If you missed this years' Challenge, all is okay!  We have our big spring Riverfront Challenge runs, walks, bicycle rides, motorcycle rides and children's challenges on April 28th 2012.  Turkey Hill will be there for a big Ice Cream social afterward the events (no eating of ice cream during this challenge) and we will once again have our huge raffle drawings (over $4,000 in gifts and prizes), plus a live concert after the challenges!  Invite your family, friends and co-workers to all come out and have a wonderful day with us on April 28, 2012!  Just a reminder: The ice cream social and other events are open to all participants and their family and friends, whether they are in the challenge or not.

Thanks to all of you who came out and supported our Footrace Frenzy!  We had a wonderful day of running & walking, eating ice cream and we thank the Lord for giving us the beautiful weather and many blessings!  This was our second year and we had over 130 people take on this challenge - while not everybody ate the ice cream during the challenge, many did complete the 4 mile run/walk and 4 cups of ice cream within the hour!

Winners - Ran the 4 miles and ate 4 (3.2oz) cups of ice cream

WHERE TO GO & PARKING

This year we are raising funds to help bring clean, fresh drinking water to our African ministry in Uganda.  Fresh water will really bless them and also allow them to reach out to those they love and minister to in their community.  Our goal is to provide one Well ($3500) and 100 personal water purification systems ($35 ea.) for Grace Christian Fellowship Church, allowing them to have clean and safe drinking water ALL the time.

So please invite your friends and family and help us make a difference in the lives of others who don't have one of the simple things in life like we do - clean water!
