In the last 50 years the food we have available has dramatically changed. The USA has dropped in the ranking of healthiest nations from #38 in 2000 to at present we are #72 of the 190 countries on the list. Do you think there is a connection? We will learn about what some of the common terms like ‘enriched’, ‘fortified’ and ‘organic’ mean. We will also look into the truth about supplements and what the government says is necessary for minimum daily nutritional intake. You might discover your family’s food is ready for a makeover!

‘Triple Benefits’ of attending!

We had another fantastic year this year at Sean’s Run buoyed in a big way by a tremendous response from our corporate sponsors; assistance that underwrote the run and helped us to achieve our overall financial goals. So please join us in thanking New Seasons Market, Umpqua Bank, The Green Microgym, Mass Mutual, Mannatech, the Evergreen Center, and Team Reliv.

Of course, none of this would be possible without you. So, let me begin by congratulating the top three in each event :

10K Top 3

1. Ariella Deprenger-Gott with a time of 00:39:33
2. Luis Armenteros with a time of 00:39:55
3. Jacquilynn Premo with a time of 00:45:55

Full results for the 10K run can be found at http://www.resultsdb.com/race_results.aspx?race_code=SEAN1013

5K Top 3

1. David Miller with a time of 00:19:21
2. Joe Urbina with a time of 00:20:50
3. William Davis with a time of 00:21:27

Full results for the 5K run/walk can be found at http://www.resultsdb.com/race_results.aspx?race_code=SEAN1013

Thanks to you

Sean’s Run began in 2007 as a community event, and as a minor fundraiser, raising money for small projects. Today it stands as the signature fundraising event for ARROAutism, whose projects include the ARROAutism Community Center in Beaverton, an annual Holiday Family Assistance Project, Autism Research and more. Thanks to all the donors, volunteers, sponsors, and your participation in this year’s run, we were able to raise approximately $8000 to continue to provide these invaluable services to the community.

We hope you had a fantastic time at this year’s run, and we can’t tell you enough how important a difference you make to the community at large.

Have a great year of running, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!

Pre-registrations are a critical path to the success of Sean’s Run for ARROAutism. Not only do those early registrations help us raise money for out of pocket costs like insurance and permits, but they also give us an idea of how many people to provide (and budget) for, especially critical items like t-shirts and bibs.

Since we’re still growing, we are still able to provide for registrations in cash, with a credit card, or a check, at the event. This applies to both Walkers and Runners.

You’ve waited. We’ve worked. And now, here we are – the day of Sean’s Run is upon us! And we are REALLY excited about this year’s run!

Our Best Year for Corporate Sponsorship

We have a great lineup of corporate sponsors, including New Seasons Markets, Umpqua Bank, The Green Microgym, Mass Mutual, The Evergreen Center, Mannatech and, returning for the third year in a row, Reliv! We have also received direct donations from Arthur Erikson Antiques and the Lake Oswego Rotary!

We are thrilled to announce that, for the first time in the history of Sean’s Run, Corporate Sponsorship and direct donations have covered roughly 90% of the cost of producing this year’s run! That means that every runner or walker who registers, every sweatshirt purchased, every raffle ticket purchased, will go directly to our mission of bringing resources together for the Autism Community.

What does Sean’s Run raise money for?

One of the principal projects of ARROAutism is the ARROAutism Westside Family and Community Center in Beaverton, Oregon. Thanks to your ongoing support and money from grants, things at the Community Center are coming together! We have made a host of improvements including better electrical wiring and a new dimmable LED trough light. We have also been able to host a wide range of Community Events, including a fitness group, Beaverton Friends of Music, Filipino American Friendship Club of Oregon, Autistic Community Activity Program, monthly Autism family socials, an Autism Dads and men’s group, Autism Panel discussions, lectures, Economic Fairness of Oregon and much, much more!

Times they are a changing

This, the 7th year of Sean’s Run, will be an historic year for Sean’s Run. Each year we’ve learned, and applied those lessons. Come see for yourself how that is translating into a great event for you. And, you’ll hear an announcement about how things will be changing for next year.

THANK YOU!

Finally, to all of you who have supported us here at Sean’s Run, either once, or many times over the last 7 years, THANK YOU! You have helped to improve the lives of families with Autism many times over.

Still time to sign up!

It’s true! There’s still time to sign up. You can still sign up online up through tonight, and you can register for either the run or the walk at the registration desk. Registration opens at 9AM at Oak’s Park. While you’re there, check out the Sean’s Run Apparel, buy some raffle tickets, meet Sean, buy discounted Ride Bracelets for Oaks Park, and, most importantly, HAVE FUN!
