Boosterthon Fun Run

The Boosterthon Fun Run is an exciting 2-week program that emphasizes fitness, leadership and character and serves public and private schools throughout the country by helping them boost funding. Their team members are consistently serving schools by building confidence and character in students while helping schools provide better facilities, equipment, programs and opportunities in the classroom.

Since its inception in 2001, Booster has served more than 1,000 schools raising $54 million. As product-based strategies rapidly decline, more schools are turning to Booster's leading, healthy alternative to school funding. What's even better? They have a proven track record of increasing school funding by more than 50 percent per student.

In addition, Booster Experience Leaders also bring the classroom to life teaching values based on a yearly theme. For Spring 2010, that theme is "STAND UP" and represents the following character initiatives: Serve One Another, Take Time to Read, Ask Great Questions, Never Give Up and Discover Your Talents.

We're excited to tell the Boosterthon Fun Run story and be part of the mission to encourage kids to live healthy, active lifestyles and make positive choices. Visit http://www.funrun.com for more information.

Nike Running

The first of its kind, Nike launched a store dedicated to bringing Nike Running to life at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto this Spring.

It's more than a store, Nike Running Stanford is designed to be a runners' hub -- with the Runners' Studio, where you will find even more specialized products, services and individual help to meet your goals. It is the place to go to get setup with the individual workout tracking of Nike+, the most fun and effective way to keep track of fitness progress digitally. It also offers the ability to customize kicks with NIKEiD, or take a new pair of shoes for a free trial test run. Of course, you can always join Nike Run Club for a group run of your choice of a 3, 5 or 7-mile route. (You can join Nike Run Club in other cities with a Nike Store as well!)

Stay tuned for more big news from this fun client of ours!
