Quick post:
Just found out that Western Branch High School sold over 300 raffle tickets at the Ed Lowery 5k Bash yesterday (see comment here). Apparently, some, if not all, the credit goes to my blog for posting about the Western Branch 24 Hour Fundraiser Run. Just goes to show what a great bunch of people there are in the local running community!
If you weren’t at the race yesterday, (a) you missed out on a great cross country event and (b) there’s still time to buy raffle tickets for what is panning out to be one of the great giveaways of the year. Tickets are just $1.00 each with current prizes as follows: airline tickets, a flat screen TV, Nintendo DS, digital picture frames, iPods, free race entries, gift certificates to numerous retailers, and much, much more. There’s also a 50/50 raffle which is increasing in value all the time.
Just stop by Western Branch High School during the event next Tuesday/Wednesday to make your purchase or feel free to contact Coach Ryan Carroll for more details – rcarroll82@gmail.com or 757-282-1440.
There’s also still plenty of time to make a donation to the Western Branch Cross Country/Track Team for their upcoming 2009-2010 season. Just click here to visit the ActiveGiving web site.
Good luck to everyone on Tuesday/Wednesday!
