CRY Bay Area Walk Run 08 event was a huge success! Please read below for details and please come back for links to pictures and videos!!

Not all of us have the time and energy to get out there and organize events; As CRY volunteers, we realize that and we've worked really, really hard for the past two months to pull off a great event. Our online fundraising goal is 15,000$ and you can donate until June 30, 08. please motivate us to organize bigger and better events by donating RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!

The Bay Area Walk event was held on June 15, 2008 at the Shoreline Park in Mountain View. It was an exciting day with over 400 people attending the event. Our congratulations to the winners of the 10km run, 5km run, 5km walk and 3km walk events! We distributed around 40 medals and certificates to male and female winners from each age group and so many walkers/runners thanked us for a well-marked course and ample water supply along the way!

Lots of children also participated in the special kids activities that we organized and their screams of joy and fun made our day! We had a sack race, three-legged race, lime-in-a-spoon race and relay race for three age groups (under 7, under 10 and under 12). We also had face painting and balloons which kids really enjoyed!

Onto the raffle event! Some uber-cool raffle gifts were given away - an iPod Touch, a dating package, jewelry, a multi-purpose printer, dinner packages and so on! Pretty neat, right? :)

Father's day celebration! - we raffled away two pairs of tickets to a baseball game at the legendary Giants stadium to acknowledge Father's day and also took pictures of Father-child teams to upload onto our website in the near future!

A big thank you goes out to everyone who supported this event, specially to our volunteers who gave of their time, skills and resources to make this event a tremendous success!
