Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun Saturday March 6, 2010, for the 12th Annual SUBWAY® Bedrace for Bridging, Presented by Cities 97.
164 teams registered for the event, dressed in crazy unique costumes, raised pledges, danced to the Chris Hawkey Band and had a great time. It was a great night out at Buck Hill, mild weather with a little drizzle that did not stop the fun or the races.
Big, Big, Big Thank You to our Sponsors(listed on right).
The bedrace raised nearly $85,000 (and still counting!) Your support of this event will enable Bridging to serve over 5,100 families in 2010, half of which are children under the age of 17 and provide beds so kids and their families do not have to sleep on the floor.
