In
December 2006, when all the pledges had come in, including those
from far away, Ruby's Run presented the money raised by all the
children who participated in the first Ruby Harvey Memorial Children's
Run to her preschool.
In addition to the pledges the children collected, direct donations
came for the scholarship, after people heard about Ruby's Run and
the scholarship, but didn't know of a local Richmond area child
to sponsor.
Donations and pledges came in from all the way across the Atlantic
Ocean, as well from all across the USA and Canada. Each and every
donation and pledge was a special and wonderful way to honor the
memory of a lovely little girl, and to help another child.
The organizers of Ruby's Run are very grateful to everyone who contributed.
Our volunteers, both teens and adults, were just awesome!
Below are a few pictures from the ceremony, which was held at 2nd
Presbyterian.

Kirsten was one of our top pledge getters; she turned in eleven
pledges totaling $301.00. Way to go, Kirsten!
