On Saturday November 12, 2011 over 200 people turned out to support the Run to Rebuild 5K, including a team sponsored by The Bloomsburg Daily. Also spotted completing the race was Bloomsburg Mayor, Dan Knorr. All proceeds will be donated to the Columbia County Volunteer Organization for Disaster Relief. The organizers had hoped for a decent turnout to the hastily organized event, by all accounts it exceeded their expectations. The Bloomsburg Daily is so proud of everyone who organized and participated in this wonderful event!
