I have a big event coming up that I would like to share with you. I am the Race Director for the 12^th Annual Main Line 5K Run & Fun Walk, benefitting The Main Line Chamber Foundation. Presented by Main Line Health, the race takes place on Saturday, September 26^th in rain or shine - registration opens at 7:00 am and the 5K Run begins at 8:00 am (followed by the 3K Fun Walk at 8:05 am). The Foundation, established in 2001, grants scholarships to deserving local high school students. Additionally, the Foundation provides support for volunteer fire companies in the community, specifically by providing financial aid to assist in the recruitment of new volunteers, and by awarding scholarships to individual firefighters. The Main Line 5K Run & Fun Walk provides much of the funding used by the Foundation to support our local community.

Nolan Painting is also a proud sponsor of the 12^th Annual Main Line 5K Run & Fun Walk. Nolan Painting will be a large presence on the day of the race, with twenty Nolan Painting employees pledging their time as volunteers on race day. The race begins and ends at the Chamber office, located at 175 Strafford Avenue in Wayne, and leads runners on a scenic course through beautiful Wayne. After the race, runners and walkers are welcome to enjoy a Health and Fitness Expo attended by local health and fitness experts.

As Race Director, the Main Line Run represents the culmination of my hard work over the past few months, as well as the efforts of the Main Line Run Committee. For me, it has also allowed another wonderful opportunity to give back to the community in which I live and work. I am extremely excited about what is sure to be a great day for the whole family.

Hope to see you there.

Thanks,

Kevin Nolan
