Jacobsmeyer’s original goal was to recruit a team consisting of 50 people from the Moapa Valley. She outdid her expectations, however, with a team of 91 individuals. With a total of over $2100 Team Moapa Valley raised enough to fund 1/3 of a Wish.
Team members ran or walked a 5K course which is just over three miles. There was also a one mile fun walk in which team members participated. For the most part all team members were sporting blue and gold to show their Moapa Valley pride. |
Jacobsmeyer couldn’t have been more proud of her team. “The team did a great job!” she said. “What an enjoyable day, and the weather was perfect.”
Jacobsmeyer also expressed her appreciation to the families with small children that came to participate, “I hope the kids had a good time being part of the effort,” she said. Jacobsmeyer also expressed her thanks to Marianne Ekenstam for making and donating buttons for each team member to wear during the run. The buttons were blue and gold and said Team Moapa Valley. The 9th Annual will be the same time next year and Captain Jacobsmeyer is already talking about getting the team back together. Until next year… |
