Atlanta, GA, November 12, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Walkers and runners at the Nov. 7 Starry Night Atlanta 8.5K raised more than $120,000 to benefit the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

The event’s Hero Award honored Jocelyn Dorsey, an anchor and producer at Atlanta’s ABC affiliate, WSB-TV 2, who is a longtime PBTF volunteer and Ride for Kids supporter.
A thank you goes out to emcees Kristin Klingshirn and Monica Kaufman-Pearson, and to the many who provided entertainment, including ShoutATL for their bouncy houses and giant slide, DJ Marshall Mixer and the 501st Legion’s Star Wars Storm Troopers.
