Members of Team 1in9 During the Komen Race for the Cure

In January, 1in9 decided to set a goal for the Komen 5k Race for the Cure. We wanted to make a BIG impact at the race – but what was a reasonable goal? Recruiting a 1in9 Team of 100 or 200 members?

1in9 reached our goal of 500 only days prior to the race! It wasn’t an easy task but it was worth the effort when Team 1in9 was together for the first time for the team photo. Wow! We made a statement by sheer numbers and how could you miss the 500 bright green 1in9 shirts!

Our First Race Team at the Gobbler's Run 2010

On Thanksgiving Day, 1in9 was proud to have our first team participate in a 5K race to support our cause! The 1in9 team donned our bright pink running hoodies and made quite a splash among the 1,900+ runners.
