There was finally a break in the clouds this past Sunday, just in time for the annual Race for the Place 5K. Several members of the Zinner & Co. family participated.
Zinner & Co. has been a proud sponsor of the event, held at Beachwood Mall to celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day, for many years as it supports our good friends at The Gathering Place. Started in 2000 as a nonprofit cancer support center in the greater Cleveland community, The Gathering Place focuses on the emotional, physical and spiritual needs of cancer patients and their families. The Gathering Place offers free education centers, support groups, exercise and nutrition classes to individuals and families touched by cancer. During times of pure despair and fear, The Gathering Place has been a sanctuary for over 21,500 individuals since its inception.
The Race for the Place always brings in a large crowd, but this year was bigger than ever with over 4,200 registered participants who raised $350,000 for the cause! Team Zinner included Gabe Adler (with wife, Nikki), Robin Baum, Howard Kass (with wife, Cindy) Sue Krantz (with husband, Jonathan, and children Adam and Rachel), Matt Aloisi, Laura Haines, Patti Puterbaugh and Spike Radway, who ended up finishing in the top 20 for his age division.
