Reindeer Fun Run

$27,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills

Reindeer Run — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:53:23 +0000

We are proud to announce that the 2011 Reindeer Fun Run was able to give $27,000.00 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills!

Boys & Girls Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. They are truly The Positive Place for Kids.

As part of these programs, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills provided 23,484 meals in Southern Pines and 10,496 snacks in Aberdeen, serving nearly 2,000 members and community youth.

From games and athletics to drug prevention workshops, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills offers young people a range of fun and productive activities. Clubs are open each day after school from 2:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. – when research has shown children to be most vulnerable to gangs, violence and other risky behaviors. In the summer, Clubs and special summer-only sites open their doors all day to young people with nowhere else to go.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of the sponsors, volunteers & runners who were part of the 2011 event and made this possible!

Thank you!

Reindeer Run — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 22:46:49 +0000

We want to thank everyone who came out today to run, walk, and cheer at the 5th Annual Reindeer Fun Run! To see Poplar street totally disappear as far as the eye could see with runners & walkers, adults & kids, pets & costumes was absolutely fantastic!

We also want to send a special thank you to the Town of Aberdeen for hosting the Reindeer Fun Run. To pull of a fifth year event in a first year location is a huge task. To add the level of support offered by Aberdeen is inspirational. Police, Fire, Planning, Parks & Recreation and Public Works were all involved for nearly six months to make sure that the event was safe, organized, and of course, fun! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Race organizers are catching their breath, but will be posting photos and more information about the event as quickly as possible. For those who were timed, you can check your results here.

We hope you had as much fun as we did!

The Town of Aberdeen got into the spirit to help us pull off the best Reindeer Fun Run yet!
