2011 Race for Champions
May 1, 2011
For the past six years, the South Florida community has rallied to support local Special Olympics athletes by participating in the annual Sallarulo’s Race for Champions 5K Run/Walk – raising more than $3.17 million in much-needed funds for the athletes to date.
More than 1,000 runners and walkers participated in the most recent race held in May at Nova Southeastern University (Nova). Sallarulo said that it is fitting the race annually takes place at Nova, as the university is the permanent home of SOBC and the only chapter of Special Olympics in the nation that is housed on a private college campus.
The 2011 race was held in memory of Don Taft, who was a great friend, philanthropist, business leader, amazing supporter of the community and namesake of Nova’s Don Taft University Center.
