Ring in the New Year the healthy way with the John Daley Memorial One One Run. Held on New Year’s Day, this non-competitive event celebrates the New Year by emphasizing fun, community and support of Kalamazoo youth.
For the past 25 years, as many as 1,300 people have arrived to participate in the One One Run’s festivities of friendship, family, and fitness. Whether the New Year commitment is to personal health, community wellness or a wonderful youth organization, the One One Run is a positive way to begin 2009.
John Daley, long-time Borgess Medical Center Development Director and avid supporter of the Boys & Girls Club, was instrumental in the early years of the One One Run. After his passing, the event was renamed in his honor and proceeds were given to the Boys & Girls Club per his wishes. Last year, this event raised more than $25,000 to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Kalamazoo.
The One One Run kicks off on Thursday, January 1, 2009 at 1:00 pm at Spring Valley Park in Kalamazoo. Runners, walkers, families, sports teams, dogs, and strollers are all welcome! For more information, please contact Greta Faworski at 269-349-4485 x109 or gretaf@bgckzoo.org. To register online, visit www.active.com and search for One One Run.
