The 22nd Annual Run for Jon
When: Saturday, August 25th 2012
Background:
Last year, in 2011, an outstanding field of runners, walkers, and baby joggers once again gathered to raise money for the Jonathan Evans Memorial Fund, the proceeds of which benefit local
families who have children with serious medical needs. It began in 1991 to help the family of Jonathan Evans of Peru, NY with the financial demands of his cancer treatment. The course
runs through beautiful rolling Forrence Orchards.
This year’s race is dedicated to our friend, Ros Priciandaro, who volunteered for many years helping with organization, fund raising, registration and results for the Run For Jon.
