3rd Annual Golden Corral Patriot Run

  3rd Annual Golden Corral Patriot Run to be Held on Saturday, November 20, 2010

Greenville, NC (For Immediate Release):  East Carolina University’s Army ROTC “Pirate Battalion” is proud to announce that Golden Corral has signed on as the Title Sponsor of the 2010 Patriot Run. The Patriot Run is presented by ECU Army ROTC and the Brook Valley Country Club and will be held on November 20^th. The 5 mile run route will wind through the picturesque Brook Valley golf course and subdivision. A 1 Mile “Fun Run” will also be featured at the same time as the 5 mile run.  Both the 5 mile and 1 mile courses are completely on the road and promise to be fun and challenging for all levels of runners.

In its third year in Greenville, the Patriot Run has shifted its charity focus this year. After raising over $10,000 in two years supporting wounded warriors, the Pirate Battalion now wishes to pay tribute to our fallen heroes and their families. All proceeds from the 2010 Golden Corral Patriot Run are going to the Ft. Bragg Survivor Outreach Services (SOS). SOS’s mission is to advocate on behalf of the families of fallen service members for support from their communities. They provide an avenue of resources to include support groups, bi-monthly newsletters, information briefs, and social events.

The “Pirate Battalion” is also proud to have Grady White Boats and Physicians East on board as Major Sponsors, VFW post 7032 as the Finish Line Sponsor, and Rob’s Hydraulics, Columbo Kitchen Attorneys and Trade Wilco as Contributing Sponsors for this year’s run.
