2008 held many changes for the Miles for
Food event. Team Big River Running Co. joined with a
group of seven runners/fundraisers. This doubled the
field size from 2007.
Sponsors also rallied behind our cause. Fine Dog
Creative jumped in creating the awesome Miles for
Food logo you see above. This opened the door to the
production of event shirts which I'm proud to say were
given to all participants and volunteers. Shirts
were generously donated by Big River Running Co. and silk
screening was paid for by Shifting Consciousness, L.L.C..
Build A Bear, Great Restaurants and DeVines Wine shop all
contributed prizes which were award to top
fundraisers. Thanks to all the St. Louis companies
who supported our event.
The biggest challenge we faced was how to transport all
this FOOD! Team Big River & Team UFT were so
successful in gathering food donations that it was almost
impossible for us to transport them all to O.F.S.
headquarters. Thankfully Operation Food Search
stepped up to save the day sending out a driver and huge
truck. Whew!
The end result - almost $9,000.00 total donation for the
2008 Miles for Food. AWESOME! |
