Letter: Thanks for supporting Lighthouse runs

Posted

To the editor:
The weather was warm with a slight breeze. People, who had waited more than a year to resume normal activities, were anxious to begin again. Combined with a worthy cause, they made perfect conditions for the first annual Pomham Rocks Lighthouse Run, held April 24 in Riverside.

Two hundred thirty-two runners and walkers of all ages participated in the 10k/5k event. The benefit road race was one of a number of events planned to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the historic lighthouse.

The Friends of Pomham Rocks Lighthouse acknowledge the generous support of Bell Sponsors: Crosby Yacht Yard, Navigant Credit Union and Pawtucket Credit Union. Key Sponsors included Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast, East Bay Ice Company, East Providence FOP #1 and Garceau & Co. LLC. They also recognize the Corporate Team sponsored by ExxonMobil.

The Friends thank Partners: BankRI, Community & Teachers Federal Credit Union, East Providence Paint & Wallpaper, Guardian Pest Control, Inc., U.S. Congressman David Cicilline and Wood’s Heating & Oil Service. They are grateful for the generosity of in-kind donors: BJ’s Wholesale Club, Dunkin-Willett Avenue, Eastside Marketplace, Shaw’s Supermarket and Tom’s Market.
