The Monte Vista Invitational - Home of the Eliminator!

Used running shoe drive also highlights fundraising for charities!

For many years now, the 12 hour Overnight Relay has acted as a fundraiser for the local community.  Started as a tradition by former coach Mike Huntsman who felt that the team should give back to the community, the event has raised several thousands of dollars for local causes.  In prior years, the Contra Costa Food Bank, The Family Crisis Center, The Lindsay Wildlife Museum and others have received support from the team.  This year, for the 3rd time in the past 5 years, the captains selected the Save Mount Diablo organization to support.  Given the amount of running that the team does in the Mt Diablo foothills, it is easy to see why the cause would be near and dear to the cross country squad.

Information about Save Mount Diablo can be found at their web site: http://www.savemountdiablo.org/home.htm

The team is asking for all runners at the overnight relay to make a personal donation.  It's fine for your family to contribute as well, but the goal is have each team member donate themselves.  If everyone gives $10 or more, we'll easily raise $1000 for the cause.

Thank you for your support of this worthy organization!

Coach Mike Davis
