Ø Host 6,700+ participants at our Thanksgiving Day 5K Races

Ø Distribute $83,000 in scholarships to students demonstrating the character and values to which Jim Bonfield dedicated his life

We Need Your Support - Building character and community commitment in our youth begins in our own backyard.  As a valuable member of our local business community we would like to invite your organization to become a Sponsor of this important mission. The Bonfield Express Foundation will also print over 1,000 Ad Books for the 2007 5K Express.
