Sports Memorial Fund

[Adivina]

I can't believe after the months and months of prep time that my workplace's big event is tommorrow!

Miles For Matty is a huge community event which raises money in memory of a local kid who died from a severe sports head injury. Matty was very athletic, so his parents came up with the idea for the Matty Memorial Fund. This is the second annual MFM, it includes a 5 mile marathon (walk/run whatever the people choose to do), and a huge party after with events like rockclimbing, live music, food, etc.

Last year the fund bought scoreboards for the multiple sports fields in town, funded many sports programs (from cheerleading to football, to baseball), and this year the money will be used to reopen many sports programs in the school system that were cut due to budget cuts.

I know the website is horribly designed (I'm trying to convince my boss to let me redo it!) but here are some pictures from last year:

I hope to have some pictures to put up for everyone to see after the big event tommorow! (This is what I will be dedicating my birthday to doing, I felt it was way too important of an event to ask for the day off)
