TRASH DASH – 5K Run - Sustainable Tallahassee’s 2012 Fund Raiser

It was a beautiful fall day – a bright blue sky and crisp chilly weather - and perfect for the second year to hold our Trash Dash 5K Run.  The Trash Dash, ST’s fund-raising race at the Leon County Solid Waste Management facility, was a hit as about 100 runners crossed the finish line.  The event was part of America Recycles Day sponsored by Leon County.  We are indebted to Gulf Winds Track Club for supporting this event and providing expertise.

Special thanks to these sponsors whose donations made this November 10, 2012 event possible:  Allison Tant Richards, Bob Henderson, Carlton Fields P.A., John Harvard CPA, Leon County Schools, Long Term Care Insurance Advisers, Louise “Lulu” Madonia of the Collection at Southside, Marpan Recycling, New Leaf Market, Goodwill Industries, EarthSTEPS, Veolia, and Willams Gautier Gwynn DeLoach & Sorenson, P.A.
