NSET Grants and Fundraising

As a testimony to the power of individuals coming together, we were able to make $11,000 in local grants after the September 2009 wine tasting event. Terry “Sully” Sullivan did a great job of coordinating all of our volunteers, so everyone could do what needed to get done.

This year NSET has provided $8000 to

for the grieving and underprivileged of our community. Click here to read the thank you letter from the Executive Director of The Solace Tree.

NSET approved and issued three grants of $1000 to:

Jesse Eligio and Family: Jesse was struck by a car and bound to a wheelchair. Our community has rallied around Jesse to make sure his family feels supported while coping with this life altering event. Click here to read a thank you note from Carrie Zabel, Jesse’s teacher who has organized the efforts to help the Eligio Family.
Ramona McClure and Family: Ramona McClure has bravely been fighting breast cancer and her family needed a little help. We’re happy to be here to provide what we can to local families with the means to keep fighting. Click here to read Ramona’s touching thank you note.
Brad Zugel and Family: We’ve been lucky to meet Brad Zugel and his family at one of our events. Brad’s bravery against leukemia is an inspiration to us all and he reminds us why NSET is more than just a running group. NSET makes a difference in our outlook on life, individually and as a group. Together we accomplish wonderful things. Click to see thank you cards: first card, second card.

NSET Grants and Fundraising

NSET approved and issued three grants of $1000 in March 2009, as Walmart Gift Cards to be used toward gas and groceries for:

The family of Bradley Zugel. Bradley is an 11 year old with Leukemia. His father is a long time teacher here in Reno and they are having to travel to Oakland for treatments frequently.
The family of Melony Michaud. Melony has run with many members of TNT. She was a mentor for TNT and has contributed to NSET fundraisers. Last Spring she found a mass in her abdomen and has since had 3 unsuccessful surgeries and has completed radiation treatment. She continues to have to drive to Stanford Medical Center for treatment.
The National Foundation for Implants in the name of Cathy Brindos. Money contributed to this fund will be matched by an anonymous donor – making our gift go further. Cathy is the sister in law of Cheri Wulforst. Cathy was diagnosed with a rare and debilitating type of Pulmonary Hypertension and needs a double lung transplant. The cost of her transplant, even after insurance will cost over $200,000. Cheri is a participant of NSET who contributed to the success of many fundraisers.

NSET Finishers of the 2009 Boston Marathon

Impressively enough as it is to qualify for the Boston Marathon, there were 20 finishers of the Boston Marathon this year from NSET! Some of the runners ran PRs at Boston, which isn't easy to do. Suzi even placed third in her age group at the Boston Marathon this year. Congratulations!
