Ringing In Hope: A New Year's Eve Celebration (Saturday, Dec. 31st, 2016)
New Year’s Eve traditions continue in 2016! Families and those visiting for the holidays have made this event a tradition since 2010! Start making your plans now to Ring in the New Year by ending 2016 with an event to remember!
Ringing In Hope: A New Year's Eve Celebration will take place at a new venue this year in Ashburn Farms, VA --home to the annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot race!
Whether you decide to run, jog, or walk, you'll be doing more than just making a healthy start to the New Year. This year’s event will help raise funds for the lives of those impacted by cancer. This is a cause near and dear to race organizers who have lost loved ones this past year from cancer. Undoubtedly, each of us has been impacted by the diagnosis of a family member, co-worker or friend. Let’s show them our support! In addition to raising funds for those battling cancer, participants are also being asked to bring in new items to help patients and families of Life With Cancer.
Celebrate with us and enjoy family fun and festivities on hand to Ring in the New Year!
