VOLUNTEER STORIES
Meet the People Behind River Run
I started volunteering because my kids ran the race. Now our whole family volunteers every Fourth of July.
Watching participants cross the finish line is one of the most rewarding experiences of my year.
River Run makes me feel connected to the Toledo community.
