How Did Things Go Last Year?
The 5th Annual Commit to Get Fit took place on Sunday, September 24. 642 people registered, and 178 people volunteered. Nearly $180,000 was raised for the St. Joseph Healthcare SAFE program, which will help to ensure a strong level of resources for the coming year.
The fundraiser who raised the most money this year was Eliana Nesin-Bird, who has been the champion fundraiser each of the event's five years. Well done, Eliana!
The team with the most members this year was Sole Mates - 31 individuals! Congratulations to Sole Mates! The District Attorney team was close, with 26 team members, and Dragonfly Physical Therapy was just one further behind with 25 team members. Great job to all teams!
There were three water stops, and these were overseen by Bar Harbor Bank & Trust employees, Husson University cross-country athletes, and Bangor High cross-country athletes. 178 volunteers is incredible - and we are grateful to each and every one.
Photos were taken by David Koffman, MD, Rebecca Parent and Philip Dumond. Those photos are available to review. Music was provide by two fantastic DJs - Raymond Grindle and Steven Boddy. The Children's Obstacle Course was developed and overseen by Kimberly Smith. For the fifth year, our amazing volunteer coordinator was Nancy McKaig, and our Race Director was Brad Ryder.
Thank you to everyone!
