Did you know that over the last 10 years, the Pagoda Pacers A.C. made $121,300 in charitable donations and awarded $29,000 in scholarships? The Pacers have a long history of giving back to our Berks County community. If you volunteered or ran a race, or especially if you were one of our amazing race directors, then you contributed to this legacy. Thank you.
Generally, the club targets a percentage of race proceeds for donation. Sometimes we also use prior years’ donations as guidance. I would like to discuss this at the February meeting and vote on a default policy. It may be easier to have this debate when it’s outside the context of a specific race.
Come to the meeting on February 8th if you want to participate in a decision. You can always email me if you have input but can’t attend.
