Greetings!

Welcome to LADD's online newsletter, the LADD Flyer! This month read about running, walking and rolling in the Flying Pig Marathon and about our upcoming Taking Flight Awards.  
Run, Walk & Roll 
The Flying Pig Marathon!

Three Weeks Left. Sign up Today!
 

Tom Gugel Join us in a sea of orange as LADD runs, walks and rolls in one of the largest road races in the country, the Flying Pig Marathon May 4-5. The details:

1. You can participate in ANY Flying Pig Race and be part of LADD's Run, Walk & Roll.

2. Most people register to participate in the 5K on Saturday. Parking is simple and we meet at Great American Ballpark at 9:30 am for a photo. Then it's off to the starting line.

3. ANYONE can do the 5K! It's a flat course and you are cheered on throughout whether you're running, walking or rolling!

4. The Flying Pig donates ten percent of your registration costs back to LADD. When your friends and family donate to support your run, money goes toward critical staff training, recreation funds for those we serve, and LADD programming that supports people integrating into the community. 

Time is short, so register today. You can learn more here and register online. And remember, ANYONE can do it. Need some inspiration? Check out this video about LADD's own David Conroy featured on WLWT News 5. LADD is organizing everything, so come and enjoy yourself. Bring the whole family and experience the pageantry of the Flying Pig.

Taking Flight Awards 2013

 

So many people go unsung. They prevail, they do their jobs,  they make a difference in the community and in the lives of others. We at LADD know many such people. Some are the people served by LADD. Some devote their careers to LADD. Some serve as an inspiration to the LADD family and some make possible the opportunities LADD works so hard to promote. And while these people live their lives and do their work without fanfare and without an expectation of public praise, we at LADD nonetheless choose to celebrate them. It's what our Taking Flight Awards are all about.
 
So please join us Thursday May 2 in the Champions Club at Great American Ballpark from 6 to 8 pm as we lift up those who inspire us. WCPO Channel 9 News Anchor Carol Williams will again join us as emcee, dinner will be as delicious as always and the ballpark -- for an evening -- will be ours. Click here to learn more about our award winners, and contact Kaylen either by email or at (513) 487-3955 to make your reservation. See you at the ballpark!
