Richstone event raises $65,000
More than 500 people attended the Richstone annual Jog-walk-crawl-athon April 25 at the Manhattan Beach pier. According to Jennifer Baker-Asiddao, this year's event coordinator, more than $65,000 was raised through the efforts of volunteers, corporate sponsors and participants. Colleen Courtney, the daughter of Richstone's executive director, Dorothy Courtney, initiated the idea for the event 11 years ago as a way for young people to contribute. "With an entry fee of $10 and a focus on exercise, we reach people who can't support black-tie dinners," she said. The first year raised $12,000. Richstone is a nonprofit organization that provides services to children who are victims of emotional, physical or sexual abuse. Each $1,000 raised provides a year of counseling for one child.
