I would like to personally thank our sponsors, partners, volunteers and everyone who attended and contributed to making the night such a success. We truly couldn’t do this without you.”

“The continued growth of the Race Night reflects the strength of Safe and Sound’s partnerships and the community’s shared commitment to protecting young people.
