Over 300 people turned out on a beautiful sunny morning for the 2nd
Annual Jeffrey Thomas Hayden Foundation 5K Family Fun Walk. Initial
reports indicate that over $20,000 was raised for our Scholarship
program. A detailed release will be made once all pledges and sponsor
money has been accounted for. Photo’s will be posted on the website.
The main purpose of this release is to let you know it’s not too late to
turn in pledge money. People were asking how they can get a JTHF hat, a
sweatshirt or a back pack. If you want one or more of these fantastic
items you have until May 31st to get in all your pledges to be eligible
for the additional prizes. Send the money to JTHF, PO Box 1236, West
Chester, OH 45071. Include your contact information so we can get a hold
of you.
$100 in pledges (including registration fee) makes you eligible for the
JTHF hat, which comes in either red or white.
$200 in pledges (including registration fee) makes you eligible for the
JTHF sweatshirt, which comes in small, med, large, XL and 2XL.
$300 in pledges (including registration fee) makes you eligible for the
JTHF Back Pack, which comes in red only.
The winner of the iPod Nano was Chelsea Pitonyak. In the spirit of true
giving, Chelsea an 8th grade student at Ridge Jr. High, donated the iPod
back to the Foundation. We in turn donated it to Chelsea’s school to be
used in a JTHF fundraiser that the students are coordinating. Thanks
Chelsea!
