Steering Committee

The Community Foundation is deeply grateful to the over 200 volunteers who make Run Day possible. At the core of our volunteer powerhouse is the Community Foundation Run Steering Committee. This team works tirelessly throughout the year to plan and execute Run Day. Thank you to Run Committee members for their time, talent and commitment to community.
