The Sherry Burcham Anderson 5K Run-Walk will be held in downtown Harrisonburg, Virginia on April 25, 2009 at 10:00am.
Sherry Burcham Anderson
1953-2009
The 5K Run-Walk is a fundraiser designed to support the local educational programs implemented by the Harrisonburg Education Foundation as well as to celebrate the life of Sherry Burcham Anderson. Proceeds from this event will also be used to establish a scholarship and an Educator Grant in her name. Mrs. Anderson was committed to teaching children in the Harrisonburg, Virginia area. She was also an avid runner. By establishing an event such as this, we not only honor Mrs. Anderson by participating in something she loved to do but also fund specific programs which benefit the children in the Harrisonburg City Public Schools.
