07-28-14: Annie B. 2-Miler raises $7,820
Walkers
and runners of all ages helped raise nearly $8,000 in the 2014 Annie B.
2-Miler fun run/walk held in June at Spark Stadium.
More
than 200 people participated in this year’s event, which raised $7,820,
said event organizer Cindy VanHulle, health and fitness teacher at
Ferrucci Junior High.
Money
raised at the annual event benefits homeless and low-income students at
the district’s junior high and high schools. It pays for items such as
shoes, coats, glasses, sports equipment, and academic fees.
The
Annie B. 2-Miler fun run/walk was organized in 2010 to honor long-time
teacher, counselor, and former district student Annie Boulet, who died
unexpectedly in December 2009.
