We love the holiday season - it's the most RUNderful time of the year!
To celebrate we are bringing the running community together to give back to an organization that has given so much to the greater Philadelphia community. Did you know that the first Ronald McDonald House is here in the city of brotherly love?
"In 1974, an unlikely partnership formed between an NFL team, a children’s hospital, and a restaurant chain, providing the foundation with an opportunity to create the first “home away from home” for families of seriously ill and traumatically injured children. The group’s mission was simple: to create a place where parents of sick children could gain respite and be with others who understood their situation and could provide emotional support." - RMHC.com
Join us on Sunday, December 11th at our Center City store (16th and Sansom) at 9AM for a special holiday run to the Ronald McDonald House located in University City. They have provided us with a holiday wish list and this year they are asking for gift cards so that families at the house can go out and get what they NEED for the holidays. Gift cards sounded like the perfect, light and easy to carry item on our run to deliver them to the house.
Here is their list of suggested gift cards, please provide in increments of $10, $25, $50:
- Visa
- Mastercard
- Target
- Walmart
- Fandango
- Wawa
- Amazon
We will run from our store to the house (approximately 1.9 miles each way) and then run back to the store to warm up with doughnuts and apple cider.
