Dear Capitol Multisporters,
You are invited to participate in the 2011 Race to End Violence taking place October 8, 2011, in Concord. Medals for top age group finishers, commemorative shirts for all, raffle prizes for the lucky. In our last race we had about 100 participants and we anticipate a similar size group this year. Big enough crowd to feel competitive, not so much you feel lost.
Proceeds from the Race to End Violence support the Rape and Domestic Violence Crisis Center of Concord. The Center acts as both an emergency shelter for victims of violence and an education and counseling service. With the generous support of the community they are able to offer domestic violence education classes to local schools, respond to local hospitals to counsel victims, assist victims through the often difficult court processes, and educate legislators and policy makers about the causes and effects of domestic violence. If you are not able to participate in the race please consider an independent donation or participating in one of our other fundraisers.
As a fellow multisporter myself I can appreciate that you may have other disciplines or distances to be working on. Please consider working this 5k into your schedule. Any questions regarding any aspect of the race course or the Crisis Center feel free to contact me at j.shepard.atty@gmail.com or 603-848-2871. If you own a business or have contacts interested in corporate sponsorship of this race we are also looking for that. Jim Shepard Race Date: October 8, 2011.
