In Honor of the Courtney Sipes Memorial Foundation
On November 24, 2009 at age 11 we tragically lost Courtney in Smithtown. See just how wonderful Courtney was at http://www.courtneysipes.org/. Courtney personally helped out at the 2009 race in the rain. She ran the 1K and was a big help to all of us. The Running of The Bull was conceived to inspire the youth of our area. We now find we are inspired by Courtney and her incredible giving spirit. This race will be in her honor.
Support Angelas House
The Running of the Bull has honored Angelas House (http://www.angelashouse.org/ ) every year since it started. Great news - they are building their 3rd home to help even more children!
Bring A Food Item
Now more than ever, the food pantry needs your support. Grab a can on your way out the door , and feel the giving spirit as you run!
Seven Years
At this point,if you have run this race every year, you are now legally married to it. Thousands of dollars have been raised for both the Courtney Sipes Foundation and Angela's House. Every year we fill up the shelves at the local food pantry. Thanks for making it a great event every year.

How, in a period of rapidly declining enrollment, can costs be increasing so much from year to year,…Read More you ask? The answer is in front of you in black and white. I urge you to READ your district’s budget: we are funding retirements when many of us cannot afford to fund our own during difficult economic times. These wheels were set in motion by contracts negotiated in times of unrealistic growth that may likely not occur again. It is time to open up these plans and relieve this unfair burden from our shoulders. Whatever other measures are pursued in order to control costs, including consolidation within and eventually with other districts, are never going to be enough if you cannot get this problem corrected. Write your congressman, for the love of God. If you need any more incentive to do so, please go to http://rocdocs.democratandchronicle.com/database/teacher-pensions-new-york and look at what Smithtown’s retirees are collecting MONTHLY. It will sicken you.
