Benefit run in Ripon (California) for FieldTurf

SOURCE: Modesto Bee
About $11,000 was raised May 9 at the second annual Rina’s Run to benefit the Stouffer Field Revitalization Project at Ripon High. The event is held in memory of Rina Brocchini. The Ripon Community Athletic Foundation organized the 10K and 5K run, which had 232 participants. Rina’s Run also held a mile-run for kids. The goal is to raise $1.2 million to replace Ripon High’s track and football field with an all-weather track and synthetic field.

You have to be impressed with the number of sponsors who are working to make field turf a reality in Ripon, California. I know they have been following our progress in Ripon, and it is interesting to see the progress they are making out west:
