The Battlegrounds Makes Donation to The BackStoppers
Sixth bi-annual race raises $1,000 for St. Louis organization.
St. Louis, MO, July 10, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The Battlegrounds, St. Louis’ only permanent mud run obstacle course, recently held its sixth bi-annual race and raised $1,000 for The BackStoppers.
The BackStoppers is a non-profit organization founded in 1959 to support the families of fallen heroes in the greater St. Louis region. The group uses their funding to emotionally and financially assist families of police, firefighters and EMS/EMT personnel that are dealing with the loss of their first responder.
The Battlegrounds also worked with Funds2Orgs.com to collect and donate racer’s shoes to those in developing nations with proceeds benefitting The BackStoppers. The race collected 480 pairs of shoes for the organization.
“Each race we tie-in with a local organization, and we selected The BackStoppers because of all that they do for the community,” said The Battlegrounds’ owner Carl Bolm. “Our runners are a benevolent bunch, and they like to know they are helping others while conquering our course.”
The Battlegrounds is located at 950 State Highway 00 in Wright City, Mo. next to Cedar Lake Cellars winery and event center. For more information, call Bob Holm at (314) 569-3005 ext. 114.
