UNRUN Results and Wrap-Up
WOW! What a blast we had this past
weekend! The UNRUN weekend event
was a HUGE success thanks to our many
sponsors, volunteers, and participants.
With all their help, we raised $2000 to
benefit the Capital Area Food Bank and
Project Transitions – Doug’s House.
THANK YOU!!! for all the help, donations, and time you guys
put into making this UNRUN more successful than anticipated,
considering the current economic conditions. It just proves to me
once again that when raising money for a worthy cause, OUR
community goes above and beyond expectations.
Our sponsors/volunteers this year included; (apologies if I
don’t get them all…here we go)
 Tapelenders/Skivvies (underwear donations for the
auction)
 Adam, CJ, Bobby, Scott, Crail, Felton, Jody, Joel, Ken,
Marshal, and Carlos (underwear models)
 Chain Drive, Rusty Spurs, Bout Time (event locations
and many perks extended to us throughout the
weekend)
 Bad Boys, Lonestar Leathermen, CtboL, TGRA, Durbin
Industrial Custom Leather, BearMEX custom clothing,
Houston Area Bears, Midtowne Spa, and HOT Bear

 Joshua, Jake, Neil,

wh o t o o k pi ct u r e s
thoughout the weekend
Without the help and
participation from these
individuals, organizations, and
the UNRUN attendees too, we
could not have accomplished all
that we did. THANK YOU!!!
