We are very grateful to the Bucks County Roadrunners Club for providing guidance, support and course marshalling, and timing and to Tuesday's Gone for once again providing entertainment.

New this year was the Langhorne United Methodist Chuch Jericho Brass, a quintet who played "God Bless the USA," "Star Spangled Banner," and other tunes just prior to the start to get the runners prepared. We appreciated their inspiration and hope they can return next year.

Run the Gates is held in conjunction with the Middletown Township Parks & Recreation Department whose support played a major role in the success of this year's event.

Funds raised by Run the Gates go directly to Four for the Future, an ad hoc group formed in 2001 to help raise funds for four nonprofit agencies in Bucks County that provide services for people with disabilities. These agencies include:

• The Bucks County Council for Individuals with Disabilities
• Delta Community Supports, Inc.
• Archangels Academy School of Special Education
• Handicapped Crusaders

All funds raised are divided evenly among the participating organizations. To learn more about each organization, click on About Us.
