Father Brendan McGuire, pastor, and parishioners from Holy Spirit won $1,000 from an
anonymous donor for the largest number of registered parishioners in the Charity Run.
Catholic Charities first annual Charity Run
On April 5, Catholic Charities of
Santa Clara County held its first annual
Charity Run, Spring Forward 5k/10k
Walk/Run, held in Mountain View on
the Microsoft campus, to benefit families in the county.
More than 1,200 people registered. In
addition to the host sponsor, Microsoft,
several other Silicon Valley companies
supported the race.
Greg Kepferle, CEO of Catholic
Charities, said, “We would like to thank
everyone who participated and volunteered. You helped raise funds for a
great cause: helping people and families
living in poverty to improve their lives.”
An anonymous donor offered a
$1,000 award to the parish that registered the largest number of participants
-- Holy Spirit Parish in San Jose.
Kepferle added that Catholic Charities would also like to recognize the
other 14 parishes that participated:
St. Anthony, St. Frances Cabrini, St.
Christopher, St. Martin of Tours and
Holy Family, San Jose; St. Clare and St.
Lawrence, Santa Clara; St. Simon and
St. Nicholas, Los Altos; Church of the
Ascension, Saratoga; St. Lucy, Campbell;
St. Mary, Los Gatos; St. John the Baptist,
Milpitas; St. Joseph, Mtn. View.
“We have been blessed by the support of many individuals, corporations
and parishes. Your generosity heals
hearts and promises hope for tomorrow,” Kepferle said.
