More than 20,000 participated in the JetBlue Long Beach Marathon & Half Marathon and Aquarium of the Pacific 5k Walk/Run events this weekend and another 20,000 were in attendance as observers. Among them were 40 TeamPWCF participants, including 4 who have Prader-Willi syndrome. In addition to awareness from the TeamPWCF shirts worn by our participants, the team has raised over $11,000 to benefit Prader-Willi California Foundation.

We hosted an information booth at the Health and Fitness Expo on Friday and Saturday as well as a Finish Line Festival booth on Sunday; thousands of people passed by both of these booths throughout the weekend. We talked with hundreds of people as we passed out brochures, wristbands, temporary tattoos, water bottles and information cards all containing our website so people can learn more.  Runners passed by our banner as they crossed the finish line and saw our logo listed with the other official charities in the official program.

Everyone had a great time, ending the weekend on a high knowing that they contributed toward making our vision of A Full Life Without Limits a reality.

It’s not too late to make a donationSelect the TeamPWCF campaign and make your donation in honor of a particular team member, or leave the “in honor of” space blank to support the whole team!
