The Butterfly Run

The Butterfly Run – March 26, 2016 – 9:00am

Great Valley High School, 225 Phoenixville Pike, Malvern, PA 19355

A 5k run/walk to benefit the the Elizabeth Ciunci Foundation. On November 26, 1999, at the age of only eighteen, a drunk-driver heading in the wrong direction on the Schuylkill Expressway tragically ended Elizabeth's life. Although our family suffered a great loss, we knew that Elizabeth's incredible spirit could be carried on in countless ways. The creation of the Butterfly Run and memorial scholarship were just some of these ways. The purpose of the Butterfly Run is to bring awareness to the community: to save a life...to affect groups of teenagers to do the "smart thing"...and to facilitate Elizabeth's memorial scholarship. Elizabeth enjoyed working with children who had special needs and even planned on furthering her education in this field. It was decided that the scholarship, in honor of Elizabeth, would be given to high school seniors who wish to pursue these same goals. Over $35,000 has been given in college scholarships to young students who exhibit qualities similar to Elizabeth's. Times: Race Day registration starts at 7:30 am; 5K Run/Walk starts at 9:00 am. Course: Starts at Great Valley HS, winds along residential roads & finishes back at the high school. 5k Awards: 1st place overall Male & Female - $200; 2nd place overall Male & Female - $100; 3rd place overall Male & Female - $50; top 2 Male & Female in each age group: 12 & Under, 13-15, 16-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 & over.
