Every year around the time we think about the Branford Road Race, we ask ourselves, “why don’t we do an event to Celebrate Mom?’ So this year, 2011 we did just that. All soundRUNNER locations held a month long opportunity for children to come to the store and fill out a “petaled” flower and describe why they “celebrate” their mom. The reception was amazing…and the mom’s were excited to see what the children wrote about them…my hero, makes snacks, reads to me, it was beautiful.
All school-aged children (kindergarten to high school) went to their soundRUNNER location to get your flower and participate.
The winner was chosen at random in each soundRUNNER location on May 26 and was asked to go to their “home” store to take a picture with their child. Each winner (mom) received a summer running/active outfit. There was also a grand prize winner (also chosen at random) to receive $100.00 towards their school’s field day. That winner was Bryce Walker…can’t wait to hear how that worked out!
We will continue to do this next year, but will start a little earlier with the promotion…one can never appreciate their mom enough!
