10th Annual Riverfest 5K Run & 2 Mile Walk to benefit First Generation College Bound
First Generation College Bound (FGCB) is holding our 10th Riverfest 5K Run & 2 Mile Walk fundraising event on Sunday, September 29, 2013 at 9:00am in Laurel, Maryland. Our mission is to empower youth from low to moderate income families in achieving social and economic success by providing guidance, encouragement and support in obtaining a college degree. In June, we recognized 137 high school graduates that will be attending colleges across the country, 30 college graduates, and 2 graduate degree graduates. To date, we have over 400 college graduates who have come through our program. Visit our website. www.fgcb.org. for a description of our 4 programs. We work at Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School & Laurel High School, to name a few. Proceeds raised from this 5K fundraiser will support our programs for the 2013-2014 academic year. So come out and race for education! There is a $25 registration fee and you can register @ www.active.com or on our website. All race participants will receive a t-shirt. We look forward to seeing you there!
