Special recognition also goes to Women's Committee member Pam Black who not only helped us prepare for the event, helped register day of race participants, but also raised $339 in pledges and completed the 1-mile walk as well. Now that's what I call multi-tasking! So, because of all the fantastic support we received and thanks also to District President Mark Blondin who helped us MC the day of the event, we are very proud to announce that the 2nd annual Fun Run for Guide Dogs of America raised over $9,000!!!!. This event not only raised a lot of money but was also a lot of fun to do! See you at the 3rd Annual Flight for Sight Fun Run.
