We would like to announce that this year's run & walk will be held Oct. 23, 2010. We hope to surpass our fundraising goal of $50,000 all while we honor the memory of Eric Yerman in a way that embraces all that he stood for.

Eric's love of God, family and community was evident in every worthy goal he pursued. It is only fitting to choose a charity which embraces those same values that were reflected so strongly in Eric's life.

Friends of Children is a not-for-profit organization actively working to build a group foster care campus in North Central Florida. This campus would provide a stable environment for abused, adandoned and neglected children right here in our own community.
