We had such an amazing end to our year for the foundation. We were blessed with the opportunity to work with the amazing staff and students at River Bluff High School. They heard about our foundation and were anxious to help. They set up a school wide service project to help the children we were reaching out to through the Ella Stuff-A-Stocking program. When the time came to pick up their donations, we were literally blown away. With your help in supporting our race, foundation and now with the help of RBHS we were able to greatly expand the number of children we were able to help this year. Thank you! Thank you for your generosity and for helping to keep Ella’s spirit of love and kindness alive. Thank you.

Race Day is SATURDAY JUNE 1st 2013

With the help of so many runners, sponsors and volunteers, our 2012 race was a success. We are so grateful for all that helped support this event to remember Gabriella (Ella) and to support the efforts of our foundation. With the proceeds of the race, the foundation has been able to help several local organizations.

We would love to let you know some of the things we have been able to accomplish with your support. We were able to help provide backpacks and school supplies to children with disabilities. We partnered with the Town of South Congaree to help with their stuff a stocking program. They so graciously renamed this program “Ella’s Stuff a Stocking.” With our help and the generous donations of the town’s people, Christmas gifts and basic necessities were provided to nearly 60 children.

Thank you for helping us make this possible and for your continued support of our cause. We are looking forward to the 2013 race coming in June!

It is exciting to post the race results from a fabulous race day! Thank you to all that came out to run, walk, volunteer and cheer on the crowd! It was a great day and we are excited for next year.
