Report of 1st Annual BAMrace

There are not the right words in the English language for me to express my thanks for all the support of the 1st Annual BAMrace. It was a great success-beyond our wildest dreams.
At the first meeting of the BAMrace committee we stated our goal. "To have donations and sponsors cover the cost of the race so that all money paid by the participants could go to the Greer girls".
WOW! That happened.
Farr West City-THANK YOU for letting us hold our race in your city!
We had 394 people register to run the race. We had 320 finishers. THANK YOU to all of you! We had 73 different sponsors, which is totally AMAZING! We had a $500 donation-which is TOTALLY AWESOME. Some donations of $10. We received many donation in various other amounts. We had many prize donations. THANK YOU! When this is all added together, the results are overwhelming, inspiring, WOW!
Volunteers---what can I say? Without the volunteers this could have never happened. We had 70+ volunteers the day of the race. Many people volunteered countless hours before the race to get everything done on the 'to do' list. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Many thanks to those people that I called and asked to help, who then so willingly showed up and did everything you could to make this race a success.
The number of people that participated, donated, sponsored, were cheerleaders or volunteered shows just how much Aaron is loved. It also is evidence of how many lives he touched. What a great infulence Aaron was and continues to be to so many people.
