FreeConferenceCall.com Sponsors Children Today's 2nd Annual 5K/10K Run/Walk Race
FreeConferenceCall.com aims to raise $10,000 for The Children Today Organization; all proceeds go to enriching the lives of homeless children in Long Beach
LONG BEACH, Calif. – June 12, 2010 –
FreeConferenceCall.com, the leading provider of free collaborative communication
solutions, is sponsoring Children Today’s 2nd Annual 5/10K Run/Walk Race,
scheduled for Saturday, June 12th.
FreeConferenceCall.com aims to raise at least $10,000 for Children Today
through donations and sponsorships. In addition,
FreeConferenceCall.com will match every dollar raised, up to $10,000.
All proceeds from this event will go towards quality childcare and educational programs
for the one thousand plus children experiencing homelessness in the Long Beach community.
Children Today provides emergency and long-term care options for homeless children
and children of homeless families. For families experiencing homelessness,
free childcare allows parents to search for a job. Success stories prove
that the availability of the Children Today services work to end the cycle of homelessness
and help to put families back on their feet.
“It’s difficult to accept that there are so many homeless children and
families. FreeConferenceCall.com is working hard to give back to our community,
and I know of no better cause than our children,” said David Erickson, Founder of FreeConferenceCall.com. “We have chosen to support the Children
Today organization because it is made up of people who truly care about the wellbeing
of others, especially the children, and their success is evident in our community.”
Josh Lowenthal, President of the Board of Directors for Children Today, said, “Having
a company like FreeConferenceCall.com sponsor us not only brings resources and exposure,
but tremendous credibility. FreeConferenceCall.com was the title sponsor last
year. We are grateful for their continued support. It is more than money
that FreeConferenceCall.com provides. Their employees, families, and customers
get involved in the fund-raising and participate in the race. They are examples
for others in the community, and their enthusiasm is contagious. Dave Erickson
and his team have proved again that they are dedicated to our cause and understand
very clearly that every dollar raised means we can serve more homeless children.”
Last year, 387 Long Beach residents, FreeConferenceCall.com friends and family,
and running enthusiasts took to the streets in support of children experiencing
homelessness. You are invited to join FreeConferenceCall.com in being part
of the solution. Register today to run or walk the 5K, 10K or the half mile
children’s race by visiting the Children Today
website (link to https://www.childrentoday.org/Calendar/5k.aspx).
