Super Bowl 10k Weekend
Thank you to our amazing volunteers for all your support at the Redondo Beach Super Bowl 10k the weekend of February 12-13! We had the support of six volunteers on Saturday during the health expo and 13 volunteers on Sunday. Nine volunteers supported us in the kids run by cheering on the kids and guiding them where to go. We had a blast working with you all. Thank you for all you do!
