Sinai's Race For Our Kids Raises Record Funds While Participants Have a Record Good Time

Runners, walkers, children and their families spent Sunday morning, September 20th at the 11th Race For Our Kids raising funds for the Herman & Walter Samuelson Children’s Hospital at Sinai, and raise they did!

Thanks to the amazing generosity of racers and their sponsors, Julie Levine - the chair of the event –and countless volunteers and organizers, Race for Our Kids raised a record $170,000 to provide much needed programs and services for our children. Amy Perry, the president of Sinai, was there to thank everyone for their dedication to the hospital’s youngest patients.

10K and 5K racers took the scenic route around North Baltimore. Not to be outdone, the little ones brought their parents, siblings and friends to the 1 Mile Family Fun Walk around the Levindale and Sinai campuses.

After completing their routes, brunch was provided by The Classic Catering People.

The Race For Our Kids event could not have had a better awards ceremony emcee than the one-and-only Jamie Costello, anchor for ABC2News. His warmth, humor and enthusiasm set the tone. He made each winner feel appreciated.

This year’s top individual fundraiser was Richard Kierson, and his team, Jennifer’s Babies, won the top fundraising team contest! We cannot thank them enough. The winner of the team shirt contest was Team Ian.

Thanks to everyone who took part, behind the scenes and on race day!
