Human Race Participants Raise Over $4,500 for AFRP!
A big thank you to the Santa Cruz Volunteer Center for sponsoring the 2008 Human Race on May 10th. Kay Patel organized a wonderful team of AFRP volunteers who walked 10K from Natural Bridges in Santa Cruz to raise money for homeless dogs and cats. We would also like to thank Jamba Juice manager Amber Adcock and her employees for walking for AFRP, dressed as giant bananas!
