We take donations throughout the Year! We are creating an additional web-page about the past & present recipients of this charitable fund. Some of the recipient's names will not be provided do to the funds commitment to protecting the privacy of the individuals that we help, although we will list what the funds were used for. In addition we will update our mission statement for this fund.
28th Annual Ed Snell Memorial Run/Walk
Fairplay to Alma 10k at 10,573 ft.
August 16, 2008
The Ed Snell Memorial annual Run/Walk began as a friendly wager between two locals who raced from Fairplay to Alma in the winter of 1979. By 1981, the race was named for Edward Louis Snell who was born in Alma in 1904. He was an avid conservationist and naturalist who was active in mining, milling and metallurgy in the South Park area until his death in 1975. Family and friends have kept his giving spirit alive through this memorial fund.
This non-profit charitable memorial fund is to help improve the quality of life for others in the South Park area. This memorial fund is unique due to its ability to honor and protect the privacy of the individuals that we help. Past donations helped make the following possible: Liver transplant, uninsured medical assistance, medical bills for several children and adults, assistance to disabled women with transportation needs, dental and vision health care for local teens, relocation and adoption for neglected and abused children, and to raise awareness and funds to improve quality of life for those who are in need of assistance.
Volunteer help is always welcome. Participating in this event, registerand/or charitable donationscan help make this fundraiser a success. Please contact usif you can help. Any contribution of funds or gifts of goods donated from businesses are tax deductable. We are a non-profit charitable fundraiser.
The Ed Snell Memorial Fund is managed by volunteers to provide assistance for locals with special needs. Funds are generated from Sponsors, Donations, registration fees, and past t-shirt sales. At the 28th Annual Run/walk, volunteer local massage Therapists will be available for Pre & post sports massage (not just for the racers!). All proceeds will be donated to the fund.
For our future races we will ask registered runners or walkers to get at least one additional sponsor to support this fund. This will help to raise more funds for the Ed Snell Memorial Fund. You can have friends, family, or businesses sponsor you in this race. We will be giving a special award to the runner or walker that raises the most donations for next years race in 2008. You or your sponsor can donate by clickin on sponsor runners and walkers.
