Why: Along with incorporating a fun outdoor challenge into our community's 4th of July festivities, all proceeds from the Rundola benefit The Good Neighbor Fund (GNF). GNF provides emergency assistance for local families and individuals with limited resources in times of financial crisis. The goal of the GNF is to help individuals stay in the community and households stay intact during times of financial crisis. The Fund achieves this by providing one-time hardship grants to assist with certain qualified needs, including housing, transportation or medical treatment.
