Astoria Community Foundation readies volunteers and subsidies for Run on the River
Summary
The Astoria Community Foundation told the board it has funding for at least three youth spots in its summer program, is recruiting volunteers for the May 30 Run on the River (about 30 volunteers on hand, goal 50) and expects roughly 600 participants if turnout mirrors last year.
A representative updated the board on Astoria Community Foundation activities: they are funding three youth spots in a summer program and expect to fund two more with private donors, and they are preparing for the May 30 Run on the River. The foundation reported about 30 volunteers so far and a target of 50; staff estimated registration could reach about 600 participants, roughly 100 more than last year, and described a volunteer night planned May 27 at Fort George with incentives such as free beer and a commemorative hat and cowbell.
Board members praised outreach to youth running clubs and discussed subsidy codes for Tongue Point youth; staff asked for assistance assembling medals if the foundation provides materials. The update emphasized volunteer recruitment and community partnerships as primary tactics for event success.
