Welcome to this week’s edition of our weekly news and events roundup of all things Whippet-related.
The Dashing Whippets Running Team thanks our 2016 Partners for their generous support: NY Custom PT & Performance, Upper East Orthopaedics PC, RunnerClinicNYC, Body Balance Integrated Massage Therapy, SDL Performance Chiropractic, Bauer Dental Arts, Brooklyn Roasting Company, Strava, Fitletic, Inc, and adidas.
Donate to the team!
We had a Crowdrise campaign last year, during which we raised over $5,000 to support programs like paying Chris to coach, put on social and running events, pay for team insurance and membership with RRCA and USATF, and hold our track meet and road race. If you would like to donate this year, we’ve set up another Crowdrise campaign here: https://www.crowdrise.com/
