May 2012
Greetings!


Thank you for joining Team Fisher House at the 2012 Marine Corps Marathon to raise funds and awareness for Fisher House Foundation.  If you're new to the team, be sure to read our archived MCM newsletters for more fundraising, training, and team information.

Stacy and I are so excited to support this year's team!  We have been busy recruiting runners, sponsors, and volunteers to make your race weekend experience everything you could wish for.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you with your fundraising campaign. It is my job to make fundraising for Fisher House easy, fun, and rewarding!

 

Sincerely,

 

Cathy Cabrey

  • I am super excited about being a part of this team! I have my Team Fisher House shirt hanging in my room where I can see it everyday and get motivated to train, run and fundraise! I can't wait to cross that finish line on Oct 28th! 
  • Will there be a team hotel for marine corp marathon?
  • Ran into another Team Fisher House shirt in Chapel Hill, NC today at the Philosopher's Way 15K trail run. This gentleman ran last year with his brother, a marine. A good sight to see during the race.

2012 Military Times Ad - 4 Military Races
2012 Team Fisher House Ad

Military Times designed the 2012 Team Fisher House race ads for the Navy Ten Nautical Miler, Air Force Marathon, Army Ten-Miler, and Marine Corps Marathon displayed in all four of its weekly military publications, in addition to designing the digital race ads on the four websites. Their creative and eye-catching ads account for a significant number of new team registrants each year for each race.  Team Fisher House could not have achieved this level of success without the support of Military Times.

 

Every day, Military Times delivers to you stories written by their award-winning journalists at:  Army Times, Air Force Times, Navy Times and Marine Corps Times. They work hard to keep you current with news affecting all facets of military life -- from branch-specific headlines to articles sweeping across the entire armed forces. They strive to focus on everything important to our service members and their families. And in the channels of the 4 publications' websites, you will find community information and media-rich lifestyle features of interest to you -- both on base and off.

 

Thank you, Military Times for your many years of support of Team Fisher House!
