The Critz Tybee Run Fest, one of the major running events in the Southeast, will announce donations to a variety of area nonprofits. Each year, those funds are used to provide scholarship grants to Tybee Island, Low Country and Savannah community organizations that encourage and support health and education goals.

“Since we started seven years ago, we have given over $300,000.00 back to the community. A huge thank you goes to everybody who makes funding possible through sponsorship support, advertising placement and race registration in this one-of-a-kind event.” said Dale Critz Jr., founder and main sponsor of the Critz Tybee Run Fest.

On September 24^th, 2014 at 11 AM, the recipients of the race proceeds will be recognized during a lunch ceremony at the Critz Mercedes showroom in Savannah. Sponsors and supporters are invited to join in celebrating another successful year.
