In its inaugural 2010 year, ANF Tour de Broward gathered more than 1,500 people from throughout the South Florida community in support of Broward’s first free-standing children’s hospital – Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood. By its second year, the event had raised more than half a million dollars for the hospital. As the event enters its third year, ANF Group Inc., the title sponsor, along with Z-Motion, the presenting sponsor, hope to keep the momentum going and increase community support.
The Tour is scheduled for February 26, 2012, starting at 7:30 a.m. It will provide five fitness and recreational events, including:
• 3K Family Walk & 5K Run
• Cycling challenges – 50K and 100K
• Spin-a-Thons will take place at local community gyms in early 2012. Participants will be able to register and check out all the details in the ANF Tour de Broward website: tourdebroward.com.
• The Power of Play Kids Zone is back this year with the participation of U18 Sports Medicine – a kids-only event that promises to provide children 13 years and younger with a lots of sports-theme fun.
Proceeds from this year’s ANF Tour de Broward will fund hospital services at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital’s fourth floor “Dreams” unit, where children diagnosed with cancer receive care.
Participants for the Tour can register as an individual or as a team. People can also donate online and fundraise as a team. General registration varies per event and ranges from $10 to $60. All participants will receive an event t-shirt and goodie bag. The event is also looking for business sponsorships.
