For the first time in 2012, in addition to the tournament, we kicked off RIBS weekend with "Rylee's Run" 5K....it was such a huge success, we're doing it again! This year's 5K will be held on Friday evening, May 17th at 7:00 pm, on the course at the beautiful Mike Rose Soccer Complex. More than 175 runners joined us in this inauguaral event, which finished on the field inside the 3,000-seat soccer stadium. Photos from the race can be found on our tournament and 5K Facebook Page. This is a family event, open to runners and walkers of all ages and fitness levels. Awards will once again be given to the top three finishers in each 5K age category (men and women) and overall, as well as masters men/women.

During our first three events, the RIBS Tournament and Rylee's Run have raised more than $31,000 for our charities! The cause has special meaning to GMSA and several of its members, including Jason & Jessica Vinson, who have played in GMSA for more than a dozen years. Read more of their special stories and others:
There is no truer statement than “life is a gift, never take it for granted”. Jason and I learned this valuable lesson to be true when our daughter was born prematurely. When it comes to the birth of a child, it is truly a miracle where you cherish each and every moment. More... |
