Towards the end of last year, we were asked to speak to the Seniors at River Bluff High School. We were grateful for the opportunity to speak about our foundation, what we stand for and how we make an impact on the community. We are thankful we have the opportunity to impact these youth to find ways to serve, do good in the world and spread kindness. We all can make a difference. We all can bring happiness to those around us.  Ella’s light continues to shine.

In the spring of 2016, our foundation was able to help Red Bank Elementary install a new playground! We were invited to attend their ribbon cutting ceremony, where we were invited to cut the ribbon. We watched as the happy, excited children swarmed the new playground for the first time. Such a blessing to be part of such a joyous occasion. “Bringing Happiness to Children, One Mile at a Time”

 

We hope you are all having a GREAT summer! We are currently collecting school supplies to help prepare classrooms in our community for children to return back to school.

We will be at White Knoll Dentistry (5545 Platt Springs Rd, Lexington SC 29073)      Friday, July 24th, 4pm-7pm, to collect donations.  Hope to see you there!

This week, our course was officially measured and USATF certified! Why is this important?

“The purpose of the USATF course certification program is to produce road race courses of accurately measured distances.

For any road running performance to be accepted as a record or be nationally ranked, it must be run on a USATF-certified course. In addition, the certification program is very important to the average road racer, as well as those of exceptional speed. Most runners like to compare performances run on different courses, and such comparisons are difficult if course distances are not reliable. No one can truly establish a personal best if the course distance is not accurate.”    source: USATF.org

We love our course and we want to make sure that it is the most efficient and safe course for our runners. We are excited to invite you out again to join us in JUNE for our 4th annual Run Ella Run Memorial 5k. Lace up those shoes and join us race day!
