AOL’s Human Race – A Huge Success!

As part of AOL’s Global Volunteer Days, AOL participated in the Silicon Valley Human Race, on May 13. The walk & run event provided AOL employees, families and friends the opportunity to raise money for their favorite nonprofits and school programs. This was the second year AOL employees joined more than 3000 Bay Area walkers and runners to raise $210,000 for 125 local nonprofit organizations. William Morris, Vice President, AOL Products and Technology, presided over the Human Race Awards Ceremony, remarking, “It was a great day for AOL and for the Silicon Valley community; we are proud to support our employees and the nonprofit organizations they care about.”

Rest in peace, Leo. "On July 4, 2008 Leonardus Leo Josephus Pot, loving father and doting husband, left his earthly existence peacefully, at home, in the company of his family.

If Frank can do it (as busy as he is), so can we all do it. The latest blog that struck me was this article " Yes, People Still Use AOL " on Silicon Alley Insider.
