Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman is pictured here with his 2011 Mayor's Run Team.  Join in the fun and raise money for the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (IHELP).  Join

"TEAM TCAA" and run in the "Mayor's Run"/PF Chang's Rock 'N' Roll Arizona Marathon and Half Marathon.  This would be the perfect activity for Youth Groups.  However, you don't need to be young or to run.  Many on "TEAM TCAA" walked the half marathon.  Early Registration starts now.  If you sign up by June 15th, you can raise additional money for the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (IHELP).  Join in the fun ~ official training starts in August.  The Mayor has selected Team TCAA as one of many non-profit charities to join in his quest to help people get in shape while raising money for local non-profit organizations.  The Mayor & Couch Brian are a lot of fun!  For more information contact Kathy Estrada.
