Sunday, December 4th 2011 :

On Sunday, December 4th, we will hold our Christmas Run for a deserving family. Last year, sponsors matched our cash income to bring in nearly $700 for a young family that barely had a roof over their heads. The young girl did not even have a coat, we supplied her with a few and the mom did not have blankets or pans. In their reply letter to us last January, they were extremely grateful for our help from this race and the running community that supported it.

Registration begins at 10:00 AM with the two mile race beginning at 11:00 AM. We are also again looking for sponsors to again have a raffle for prizes at the completion of the race. I will send out an email next week detailing what is available. If you just wish to donate items or cash, feel free to write me back and I will give you details.

As this is an important fundraiser, the cost for this race is $15.00.
 
Thanks and hope to see you one of the next two Sundays,
 
Bob Blunk
Race Director

Saturday, February 21st, 2009 :

ARP has added a new race for Saturday, February 21st. This will be run in cooperation with the Palace of Auburn Hills in regards to their 'Pistons Care' Telethon.

The Pistons will play the New York Knicks on Wednesday, March 11th. Radio stations and television broadcasts will begin at 6 AM that day and run throughout the day. At 7:30 PM, the event begins with the game and representatives from the Pistons community will take over with broadcasts. Fox Sports Detroit will be active in promoting the telethon by ads.

The race on the 21st will begin at 1:00 PM with a two mile run at Metro Beach. The two mile walk will follow at 1:06. Registration begins at 11:30 and the first 100 to register will receive Piston novelty items. The shirts, hats, etc. are top quality items given out to fans at other games. Cost of the race is $18.00. There is no pre-registration, but signup will be fast with the amount of help we will have.

After the run/walk, there will be refreshments and a prize raffle. To be given away are at least 3 sets of Piston tickets and merchandise signed by players on the team. There may be more prizes later and they will be announced as soon as possible or on race day.
DeLaSalle High School will be participating in the run/walk and assisting with registration that morning. This will be one of the bigger runs at Metro Beach for the year. Please come early if you can.

The event will be supporting Feed the Children. For more information on this group, please visit www.feedthechildren.org. All funds and food will go to needy children and their families only in Michigan. You can go to www.pistons.com and learn more about the event and donate more if you wish.

Last year's event supported the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the telethon and our race raised more than $480,000. That helped over 60 kids from Michigan get their wishes granted last year.

Please try and come out and support this year's efforts.If you can, there will be a box for canned foods that you can leave with ARP.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to email back.
