The Gazelle Foundation would like to thank everyone in making our 2009 Run for the Water presented by Keller Williams Realty a great success on Sunday November 8.  In spite of our challenging economy the event drew nearly 2000 runners, walkers among its 10-miler, 5K and Kid’s K events. 

“Our runners really came out to support this wonderful event” said Gilbert Tuhabonye, Gazelle Foundation Executive Director,  “We are excited to have them join us for another great year.  And while you can’t have a race without runners, producing the event would be impossible without our wonderful sponsors and volunteers.”

The 2009 event coincides with the near completion of the Gazelle Foundation’s first water project.  Proceeds from this year’s event will go toward the Foundation’s goal to help people in Burundi and give back to Central Texas youth.
