Dates Announced for 2007 Sprint for Cancer @ Atlantic Station
"Every Runner Has a Story" Theme for Fifth Annual Road Race Benefiting Georgia Cancer Foundation
ATLANTA (February 27, 2007) — The Radiant Charity Corporation (RCC) recently announced the date and theme for the 2007 Sprint for Cancer @ Atlantic Station road race. The 2007 race will take place in the Atlantic Station district of Midtown Atlanta on April 29, with the theme, “Every Runner Has a Story.”
The Sprint for Cancer @ Atlantic Station is a 5K and 10K charity road race put on by RCC, the non-profit charitable giving arm of Alpharetta-based Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RADS). One hundred percent of this year’s proceeds will benefit the Georgia Cancer Foundation (GCF). The race is planned entirely by Radiant Systems’ employees, who volunteer their time to be part of the event and execute all race logistics with the assistance of other volunteers and sponsors. Last year’s race raised more than $60,000.
“Our theme for 2007, ‘Every Runner Has a Story,’ recognizes the intense personal nature of each runner’s motivation, which parallels the dedication of the Georgia Cancer Foundation to provide cancer outreach and personal support to patients and families affected by cancer,” said Chris Lybeer, President of Radiant’s retail division and Chairman of GCF. “As we prepare for this year’s race, we recognize the courage of our friends, neighbors, and coworkers who have been affected.”
“It’s great to be kicking off our fifth year of partnership with Radiant in this charity road race” said Rudy Morgan, Executive Director of GCF. “This event raises much-needed money for programs dedicated to improving the quality of life for Georgia’s cancer patients and families.”
