Important team info!
With less than a week to go before race day, we are all getting really excited!! There are a few last minute thoughts and reminders we want to share with you, so please take a moment to read over this short list….then go for a little run to get yourself psyched for race day!
- SHIRTS : The CZC office hours have changed a bit for this week. You may pick up your shirts from 9:15 – 4:45 Tuesday through Thursday, and from 9:15 – 11:45 am on Friday. The CZC office will be closing at noon for an off-site staff meeting, so please be sure to get your shirts before Friday at 11:45am. If you are not able to pick your shirts up before Friday, please contact alisha@comfortzonecamp.org for alternate pick up options.
- RACE DAY : We are meeting at 8:00 am on race day in front of Landmark Theatre {next to Monroe Park, at Floyd Ave. and Laurel St.} to cheer on team members who are running the Kid's 1-mile Run. Immediately following the Kid's Run, we will take our Team Picture. Parking will be very tight, so please leave at least 30+ minutes to find a space and get to our meeting location.
- TEAM SOCIAL : Don't forget, our Team Social is this Thursday at the Comfort Zone Camp office from 6-8 pm. Come by to pick up your team shirts, make a sign or luminary bag in memory of your loved one and meet your awesome team members! The CZC office is located near the Willow Lawn Shopping Center at 4906 Cutshaw Avenue, Richmond, VA 23230.
- AFTER-PARTY EVITE : Please, please respond to the Evite for the Team After-Party so we will know how many to expect. If you have friends who would like to come, include them in your response, and have them bring $5 each to cover the cost of food. We’d love to see you all there!
- FUNDRAISING UPDATE : Our team has raised OVER $29,000 for CZC so far!! Amazing job everyone, let's see how much we can raise between now and this weekend! This is a great time to send out one last email blast, post to your facebook and twitter accounts, and call some friends who might be able to give a little or a lot to help this wonderful cause!
Thanks so much to each and every one of you for helping to make our first CZC Runs 10k Team a HUGE success!

A week and a day to go!
Allison, Julie and I are SO PROUD of this team. How incredible and selfless of all 60 team members to join a team and run/jog/walk to honor the memory of someone you've lost, and pay it forward by raising funds and awareness to send grieving children to CZC. There are so many families out there who desperately need the support that CZC provides, and this team will help many of them find their way to CZC.
THANK YOU to our team members,
THANK YOU to our donors,
and THANK YOU to everyone who has supported this team along the way.

This team is incredible!!
Wow, wow, WOW!! With 3 weeks until race day, our team has now crossed the $18,000 mark! That is so wonderful, great job everyone. Thank you so much for your dedication to Comfort Zone Camp and this incredible team.
Our team has grown to be 52-strong! We have representation from dedicated volunteers, campers, camper parents, staff and many whose hearts were touched by this cause and have joined this team to help raise funds and awareness for CZC. We have team members participating in both the 10K and Kid's 1-Mile Run.
Every single person who hears about this team now knows about CZC and the incredible healing that takes place over a 48-hour period for children who have suffered the unimaginable loss of their parent or sibling. Hopefully, the next time someone they know loses a parent or sibling, they will make sure that family knows that CZC is there to support them. So many have stepped up and made a donation in support of this team, and those donations are going to help send even more grieving children to CZC. What is happening here is truly AMAZING.
THANK YOU to our team, THANK YOU to those who have donated to support this team and CZC.
