Jan 15 MLK Run-Third Place!

The MLK Run on Sunday was a paramount experience! Our volunteer runners Paola Martinez, Cassandra Forrest, Brian Ngo, Christopher Rivera, and Derrick Hansen woke up before 7am in the morning to volunteer for this event! Buddies Stacey Box, Andrea Sultan, Jane Hon, members Anna Nguyen, Stephanie Do, and two guests also cheered the runners!! At 22 minutes 23 seconds (and just 2 minutes from 2nd place) for a 5K relay race, we earned third place and also $100 for Best Buddies! At first place was the Army, and at second place was Alpha Phi Alpha (fraternity). Given that we were the only true non profit (we get no government funding) + we started our race off a little late, this event was a really exciting/fun one and this experience was definitely one we are proud of! Thank you runners!

In Friendship,

Best Buddies Officers
