100 Runners Attend Robin Hood Project Second Annual Run/Walk, October 8th

Oct. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- VINELAND, NJ (Oct. 10, 2011) — Families in the state’s two poorest counties got a boost last weekend when about 100 participants turned out to raise money to help families by racing in a 5K and one mile fun run.

Proceeds from the Oct. 8 race/walk event benefited the Robin Hood Project. “We supply household items to residents of Cumberland and Salem counties,” said Stacy Fisher, organizer of the run and founder of the Robin Hood Project.

The race started at Our Lady of Pompeii Church in East Vineland, and participants in the 5K enjoyed both beautiful weather and scenery, as they worked their way from the Dante Avenue church through 3.10 miles of East Vineland farmland.

Brandon Triantos, 17, won the 5K with a time of 17 minutes and 40 seconds. Emily Buonadonna, 33, took first place for all female runners with a time of 21 minutes in the 5K.

The Robin Hood Project, Inc., is a 100% volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Funds raised through the Run/Walk directly assist the Project in continuing its mission of helping local families by providing basic needs, such as furniture and clothes.
The Robin Hood Project, Inc. began its work in 2008 with charities and local families on to ensure that the neediest residents in Cumberland and Salem counties are directly served. Through donations from family and friends, the grassroots Robin Hood Project delivers clothing, kitchenware, linens, baby supplies and toys to struggling neighbors with limited financial means. The Robin Hood Project supports several local non-profits and educational programs including: The Family Success Center, Cumberland County Special Health Services, The Early Intervention Program of South Jersey Healthcare, The Spanish Community Center, Pathstones and many more. The organization's goal is to continue its quest to serve those in need in our region, ensuring that our neighbors get the help they need when they need it most.
