I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to extend my deepest gratitude for your generous participation in our Steady Strides 2024, presented by Supernus Pharmaceuticals.
Whether you were a sponsor, runner, walker, gift basket donor, volunteer or staff member, we could not have reached our financial goal of $110,000, without your participation. And we not only reached it, but we also blew right by it. I do not yet have the final numbers, as donations continue to come in. As of this morning, you have helped us raise $114,167.
Just as importantly, we had one of the most successful gatherings of the Parkinson community in years. More people participated in the race and Grand Basket Raffle, created teams, enjoyed the food & beverages, grooved to the new Brew Band’s tunes, and just plain joined with their friends and family to celebrate our community of heroes.
I cannot say enough about the volunteers that make Steady Strides a success every year. Our Steady Strides Race Committee has been working and preparing for almost a year. We are deeply grateful for their dedication, creativity and all their time and efforts. More than a hundred others volunteered during race week and on race day. Thanks to all who wore the neon green volunteer shirts this year.
We are looking forward to next year’s race and would love to hear from you on how we can make the day even better. If you have suggestions, or comments, please send them to me at info@parkinsoncincinnati.org.
Again, thank you for making this day such a success again this year. See you next year and Keep Moving!
Chris Gaffney
