A big thank you goes out to everyone who supported this event, sponsors- VINA, Naked Juice, Best Graphics Inc. and Mobius Financial and especially to the volunteers who gave their time, skills and resources to make this event a tremendous success!
Bharath Sundararaman, CRY America Bay Area volunteer, shared: "400 people, 22 teams, 40 children and 4 different walk/run events: the walk event was a dream come true! This event stood apart in its own right for one big reason - the spotlight was on the Children. They competed in the race, participated in all the fun activities, volunteered for the raffle, kept our face painting and balloon-walas busy and reminded us of our very goal - to give the gift of childhood to underprivileged children, irrespective of caste, creed, race or religion..to stand up for child rights!"
