$30,000 given to Vital
Alexandria-based Charities!
The last few weeks have been especially rewarding as I've granted, in total, $30,000.00 to five vital Alexandria-based charities that serve our at-risk neighbors.
Drumroll please:
- $10,000.00 to Community Lodgings; reopening the Teen Center, providing guidance towards a successful future with High School Graduation and financial management planning.
- $2,500.00 to The Reading Connection, fostering the love of books by supporting The Book Club, sending free, new books by mail to families on a monthly basis.
- $5,000.00 to Girls on the Run, NoVA, giving 33 Alexandria girls scholarships to Learn, Dream, Live and Run towards a healthier future. Photos to come...
2010 was a great, action-packed year and 2011 looks to be even better. The RunningBrooke Fund and its initiatives are expanding...
I'm off to run the Little Rock, AR marathon this weekend. Stay tuned, exciting things are going to happen!

Distressed for my struggling neighbors, I decided to do something. So I did... As a long-time marathoner who was tired of running solely for time, I 'laced up my shoes' and committed to running the world on their behalf. To raise awareness and funds for 5 key charities that serve them.
