The 4S Ranch and Del Sur Community Prepares for 4th Annual Thank You Run on Thanksgiving Day
Community members from 4S Ranch and Del Sur will host the 4th Annual Thank You Run on the morning of Thanksgiving. Funds raised will benefit the 4SRanch~Del Sur Community Foundation (www.4sranchcommunityfoundation.org), an affiliate of The San Diego Foundation (www.sdfoundation.org), and Helen’s Closet, an organization that serves patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Last year’s race raised more than $16,000 for the community. The Post-Race Family Festival will include a Karl Strauss beer garden and Equinox Laser Tag.
WHAT: 4th Annual Thanksgiving Thank You Run Community members are invited to walk, run, or jog to help raise money for two local nonprofit organizations working towards the betterment of the 4SRanch and Del Sur communities. This event is open to the public.

The 4SRanch~Del Sur Community Foundation is also a beneficiary of the run. The dollars raised will be pooled with other 4SCF membership donations to fund needs in the 4SRanch and Del Sur communities. In previous years, grants have gone to technology implementation, education, health and human services, and civil society programs.
