The 22nd Annual Shamrock Hill Run was a huge success ($10,000 for tuition assistance) and could not have happened without the wonderful support and help of the following people: Lori and Brent Whelan and their wonderful children; Reed McGinn, who made the many hours in the office a lighthearted experience; Rana Sass for her positive support and great contact at Advance Auto (who was kind enough again this year to donate the runners t-shirts and printing); Dr. Robert and Carol White for their continued financial support; Beth Ruffing for the fun Irish accent and great coffee at the break of dawn on Saturday morning; and a very special thank you to Catherine Cullum and Rachel Whelan for dragging their friends along at 6:00am, volunteering with huge hearts, and performing all their assigned tasks with a positive attitude! Much thanks to all of the fantastic families who baked, brought in water, helped stuff the runner packets, set up the cones, acted as Race Marshals at each corner to keep all of our runners/walkers safe, and who cleaned up the cafeteria and Lower School gym after the race. Last, but not least, a huge thank you to Mr. Julie Frost (also known as Chuck) who was kind enough to join us for a special prayer at the beginning of the 1-Mile Fun Run, and to our very own, Father Miller, who not only said a beautiful prayer to start the 5K race, but also joined us in the run! Whew! What a day… Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It could not have happened without all of you!
