Peachtree Corners YMCA Receives $10,500 From Fundraiser Event

PEACHTREE CORNERS -- On behalf of the Corners to Crossing race committee, Debbie Timm presented a check on May 26 in the amount of $10,500 to the Fowler Family YMCA Partner With Youth campaign.

The proceeds were collected from the The Corners to Crossing race which began in 2008 as a way to bring together the two communities of Peachtree Corners and historic Norcross. This was the 4th annual race with more than 600 runners participating this year.

"The annual Corners to Crossing race is a great fundraiser for the Y and great event for both communities," said Timm.

This year’s race was run on Saturday, April 16, 2011. It is also a qualifying race for the popular Peachtree Road Race which is held July 4th each year.

The Corners to Crossing race featured a 10K race starting at the Forum and finished in Thrasher Park in Historic Norcross. There was also a 5K and kids fun run.

This year Pat Eidt was the race chairman, with Debbie Timm of Peachtree Corners and Dale Marlowe of Norcross serving as co-chairs.

Debbie Timm is also on the YMCA Board of Directors and chairs the Community Relations committee.

The Forum was the title sponsor of the race and added a Community Fun Day to correspond with the day of the race.
