COLUMBIA, SC – The MGC Long Run raised $31,446.90 for USO South Carolina. The USO South Carolina is a nonprofit organization that strengthens America’s military service members by connecting them to family, home and country throughout their service to the nation. The donation is a result of the 2016 MGC Long Run 15k, 15k Relay, 5k and Kids’ Fun Run that took place on Feb. 6.
This year’s race had over 850 runners and walkers and over 125 volunteers. The Long Run was presented by McAngus Goudelock & Courie, a regional insurance defense firm headquartered in Columbia. The Not-So-Long Run 5k was presented by Midlands Orthopaedics, P.A.
“MGC is proud to bring the Long Run to Columbia each year, bringing together over 1,000 runners, walkers and volunteers to support our soldiers,” said Rusty Goudelock, one of MGC’s founding members. “Our service men and women protect us each and every day, and we are honored to have raised over $31,000 for the USO South Carolina.”
“Thanks to MGC and their outstanding support, the USO South Carolina can continue to grow and provide programs and services to service members and their families throughout our state,” said Joanie Thresher, Director of USO South Carolina. “Thank you MGC and all involved in the 2016 Long Run for your kindness and generosity. Without community partners and friends like you, the USO South Carolina couldn’t do what we do!”
The 2016 race will take place on Sat., Feb. 6, and will feature a 15k, 15k relay, 5k and Kids’ Fun Run. More information can be found at www.mgclongrun.com.
