ROAM celebrates 5 year anniversary!
ROAM celebrated its 5 year anniversary by planning a ROAM Reunion & Recruitment 5k Run/Fitness Walk on 1/2/2010. The event thrived on a cold, wintery day, and could not have been made possible without the teammates, friends, and family members of ROAM. It was a successful fundraiser to help with the expenses of the application process as ROAM pursues 501(c)3 status. Look for more ROAM races in the Spring/Summer of 2011.
