On May 18^th, 2022 a group of Townsend Leather Partners participated in, and had a great time, in the well-known CDPHP Workforce Team Challenge in Downtown Albany, NY.  After a couple years of not being able to participate due to COVID-19, our team loved being able to get back into the run-fun!

 

This event is the largest running event in the Capital District of New York, and is organized by, and serves as the major fundraiser for, the Hudson-Mowhawk Road Runners Club (HMRRC). The proceeds help underwrite many of HMRRC’s activities and offerings, including college scholarships, grants, free races for members, and the Just Run® Program, which encourages grade school children to run for exercise and fun.

At this year’s event, over 6,000 registered participants donated over $10,000 to this year’s Charity of Choice, Oakwood Community 

Center. Oakwood Community Center (OCC) offers a welcoming and nurturing space for the diverse residents of Troy to meet as strangers and become neighbors who care and advocate for each other.

We again, participated in the T-Shirt Contest, where businesses/teams submit a custom t-shirt design of their own, then it is judged the night before the race. Townsend won 3^rd place for the Most Corporate!

Townsend Leather’s team members joined together to create tie-dye socks and bandanas to go along with their custom-designed shirts, as well.

All together this was one amazing event – Townsend Partners worked together making their team apparel, had lots of fun, great exercise in beautiful surroundings, and took home 3^rd place in the T-shirt Contest. You can’t ask for anything more.

 

Townsend Leather is looking forward to next year!
