November 2008

It’s November and you know what that mean…time to think about giving.  What better to give than food to those in need.

Each year, I join thousands of  participants in the Run to Feed the Hungry.  It is a great event for a great cause.  Read more on the details below:

Run to Feed the Hungry has become an annual holiday tradition for countless area families. Beginning in 1994 with only 800 runners, the event now ranks as Sacramento Valley’s largest annual run & fun run/walk. In 2007, 23,000 participants attended and raised over $600,000 for Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. As we approach our 15th Anniversary we look forward to another record crowd and donations topping $750,000.
