CALLING ALL RUNNERS, JOGGERS AND WALKERS

The Wellness Community of Philadelphia (TWCP) needs you!

We provide you with a comprehensive training program, designed for both veteran runners and novices, and the opportunity to participate in one of several races in Philadelphia or around the country.  You ask your family, friends, and co-workers to sponsor your efforts for a great cause.

Our trainer, Shanley Rassler, has been a competitive runner for over half her life, having run cross country and track at her high school and a Division 1 college, and now participates in running races and triathlons around the country.  Her first job was coaching swimming, and she has mentored and coached all types of athletes ever since.  She looks forward to sharing the experience of running on a team with all of you. 

Participants are encouraged to train together but can participate in the event of their choice, whether it be the Penn Relays Distance Classic on Sunday, April 18, 2010 (5K or 20K), the Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run on Sunday, May 2, 2010 (10 mile), or another event.  Optional group training sessions will take place on Thursday evenings at 6:30 PM and Saturday mornings at 9:30 AM, beginning at the Art Museum steps.  Shanley will also devise an individualized training program for each member.

Last year’s Strides for Hope team raised over $10,000, and several members of the team won or placed in the events.  Since its inception, the program has raised over $290,000! Each team member pays a $50 registration fee and sets a goal of raising $500 on behalf of TWCP.  We are mindful of the challenging economy and want you to have a realistic goal.  Most people give to a charity because someone they know asks them.  You can be that someone.

For more information, to join the team, or to make a donation, please contact Heather Baron at hbaron@twcp.org or 215-879-7733.

6:00 PM

at the beautiful

Normandy Farm Hotel & Conference Center

1401 Morris Road, Blue Bell

Enjoy a fabulous night out while helping to meet the needs of others in our community. We will don chef hats and work together with a Normandy Farm chef, who will lead us through the preparation of our meal, along with yummy casseroles, which will be individually wrapped by the Normandy Farm staff and brought directly to the USO facility near the Willow Grove Air Base where they will be kept frozen. As the soldiers return home, they will receive one of the casseroles as their welcome home meal!

As our meal is cooking, there will be an opportunity for you to bid on lots of wonderful silent auction items.  Proceeds will benefit The Wellness Community at The Anne McCouch Center, The North Penn/Indian Valley Boys and Girls Club, and the PennSuburban Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Fund.

Contact Donna Keller at 215-362-9200 or donna@pennsuburban.org for more information.

COMING SOON...TWCP AWARENESS WEEK

The Wellness Community of Philadelphia is once again holding an Awareness Week in April. As it did in its 15th anniversary year in 2008, TWCP is working with area companies along the City Avenue corridor to promote its free services for people with cancer and their loved ones. This year, however, it hopes also to raise funds for TWCP, and, in turn, to draw attention to the neighboring businesses that are Wellness Community-friendly! City Avenue Special Services District organizations are being asked to make an outright donation, or to contribute a percentage of sales for a period of time, or donate product, and to help promote TWCP’s free programs and services.

Please call Kim Hinkelman at 215-879-7733 to learn more.
