Wildflower Run
Turns Thirty-Three
Morgan Hill AAUW’s annual Wildflower
Run is a big favorite with community
members who like to blend camaraderie
and competition for a worthy cause.
According to Elizabeth Mandel, who
volunteers as Run Director, the 2015 event
attracted 1160 participants and raised
over $49,000 from runner registrations as
well as donations from corporate sponsors
and AAUW members. She estimates this
year’s event will draw as many or more
participants than last year.
Mandel said that she joined AAUW
while her daughters were in middle
school because she saw AAUW’s mission
as “very relevant” to creating the kind of
environment she wanted her daughters to
grow up in. She also noted that the orga-
nization provides a wealth of leadership
opportunities.
The Morgan Hill Wildflower Run
Research and Projects Grant Endowment
was begun in 2014 and when completed
will fund community action and career
development grants.
