These two nonprofits serve different populations, yet share a vision of building a better community for all. “The collaborative efforts between Valley Village and The Village Family Services have been tremendous, and we look forward to seeing everyone come out to support the event,” said Valley Village Executive Director Debra Donovan. “Partnerships like this allow us to maximize funds and make our programs stronger for the clients we serve.” Valley Village and The Village Family Services will be hosting the event with the help of the Chatsworth Chiefs, a local cross country track and field training group. As participants register, they will be able to create teams on behalf of either organization to raise additional funds. Sponsors include Kaiser Permanente, Daily News, Metro, Fleet Feet Sports in Encino, Santa Clarita Running Company and the Bobby Sherman Volunteer EMT Foundation.
