Senior Fundraiser – Montgomery County Miles for Meals Fun Run Recap

We walked, we ran and we had fun raising money for meals

In April, TGB Group team members got together with many others in the community to participate in the Meals on Wheels Fun Run senior fundraiser.  It was a great event, with the goal of raising money to provide meals to homebound seniors.

TGB Group was proud to be a Bronze Sponsor for this special event to help out our area seniors who sometimes struggle to get the food they need for daily meals.

The senior fundraiser was coordinated by Montgomery County Meals on Wheels.  In addition to healthy meals, the organization also is available to help seniors with necessary trips such as to their doctor appointments and to stores and other places.

Senior fundraiser Fun Run events

Participants enjoyed doing either a 5K or 10K course.  Those who were in pretty good shape ran their courses.  Others just walked or jogged along at their own pace.  Entry fees for the courses went to Meals on Wheels.

All kinds of people brought their children – many in strollers – and we saw plenty of dogs all over the place.  The dogs had fun, the babies had fun, and all of us “big kids” had a blast, too.

What’s great about events like the Meals on Wheels senior fundraiser is that it’s always a totally supportive atmosphere.  There’s no big competition (although, winners for the events were selected, so serious runners were probably a little competitive), and everybody was simply out to enjoy the day and do something positive for our senior population.

About Meals on Wheels

Meals on Wheels is headquartered in Conroe, Texas, in Montgomery County.  Their focus is assisting at-risk senior who might not have an easy way to get their daily food – something we all pretty much take for granted.

The Miles for Meals senior fundraiser is just one of many ways the organization enlists the help of the greater community to come together and give a hand to our local seniors.

Maybe next year, you can join us at this super event.
