We are pleased to announce our first 5K Run/Walk event for Saturday April 21, 2012 beginning and ending at Roslyn High School. It will follow a course through the historic Village of Roslyn. The race honors the memory of Greg Fried, a beloved Roslyn track and field coach. The race will be publicized through websites, press releases, newsletters, flyers and businesses on Long Island, as well as the Roslyn Schools. We need the help of sponsors and donors like you to make this event a success. Contributions are tax deductible and we are excited to announce that the first $25,000 of sponsorships will be matched dollar for dollar, which will substantially leverage your gift.

Our initiatives have included the development of the high school field turf and entrance complex, the establishment of a "Wall of Fame" and the sponsorship of many special events and clinics. Our latest project is the rebuilding of the field house/locker room at Roslyn High School.
