Press release:
The 9th annual GLOW Corporate Cup was run this August with over 700 participants registering for the annual 5K run and walk. The race brought in $21,000 in support of the GLOW YMCA. This money will support the YMCA Scholarship program, ensuring that no one is turned away from the Y due to their inability to pay.
In addition to the race, teams design their own T-Shirts and compete for the most creative design. Each year the local Merrill Lynch office makes a $500 donation to the winning team’s charity of choice. This year, US Gypsum won the contest for the second year in a row and elected to direct the donation to Mercy Flight of Batavia. Mercy Flight is an independent, not-for-profit provider of emergency and non-emergency air and ground medical transport and supporting services; ensuring rapid, safe and cost-effective delivery of expert response teams.
