9th Annual Ruby Run

It's just about time for the 9th annual Ruby Run! That's right, we've been up to this for an amazing 9 years! Thanks to your support over the years we've been able to donate over $85,000 to Spinal Cord Injury Research. We hope you can join us on Saturday, September 24, 2011, as we run/walk/roll/crawl through Central Park.


Day-of Details:

We'll be meeting at The Hecksher Picnic area in Central Park, located at the 59th street/Columbus Circle entrance (corners of Central Park South and West - look for Ruby Run volunteers). We'll be gathering at 10:00am, we will set out in two groups, one of runners and one of walkers, to do a 3 mile loop in the park. Don't worry if you're not familiar with Central Park, or if you want to run/walk/roll/crawl at your very own pace, we will have maps of the park available for anyone who'd like one. We'll also have Ruby Run volunteers running through at different times to make sure everyone's on track.

Next, we'll gather back at The Hecksher Picnic area, sit in the shade, and have a picnic brunch. We'll provide the food, some blankets and other necessities, but if you'd like to bring your own blanket, or anything else, that would be great. You'll be able to leave all of your belongings with a Ruby Run volunteer who'll watch them until you return from your run.

Donations and Pledge form information:


The minimum donation to participate is $100, which gets you a cool t-shirt, tasty brunch, good company, and of course the great feeling of knowing you're helping raise money for something so important. But don't stop there! We have pledge forms so you can tell your friends and family about the amazing cause you're running/walking for and raise even more money for Spinal Cord Injury research. The record pledge form brought in $2,800, feel free to break that one:)
