Running for a Reason
Running 4 a Reason was started in 2011 to help community members who have a financial need do to medical reasons. This year the proceeds will go to help Greene resident Karen Vanvoorhis who is currently battling cancer and is in need of help with her medical bills.
Thus far we have been able to help six families and raised over $40,000.00 This family friendly 5k run/walk is certified and starts at the Greene Ball Flats and continues through downtown Greene. The course is mostly flat and cross guards will be standing by. Without your support none of this would not be possible.
Please join the run on June 3rd at 8:45 at the ball flats. The Run is always the first Saturday in June. Running 4 A Reason is also looking for board members and volunteers for the morning of the run to help with timing, water stations, bake sale and so fourth. If interested please contact Patty Washburn at pwashburn17@gmail.com or by calling 607-725-7688. Thank you to the Greene Rotary Club for partnering with us to help those community members in need.
