OAKS, Pa., June 12, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Last Thursday SEI (NASDAQ:SEIC) hosted its 10th annual Rush Hour Run, a 5K race that draws 500 participants for a scenic route along the Perkiomen Creek Trail. The event has experienced tremendous success over the last decade, raising over $150,000 and donating proceeds to more than 18 local charities and nonprofit organizations.
Raising more than $23,000 this year, the Rush Hour Run benefits RSVP and Canine Partners for Life. RSVP serves a variety of groups throughout Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester Counties, primarily focusing on educating disadvantaged children and assisting veterans. Canine Partners for Life is dedicated to training service and companion dogs, which provide assistance to individuals with a wide range of physical, neurological, and cognitive disabilities.
“RSVP is honored to be a fundraising recipient of SEI’s Rush Hour Run,” said Michele Moll, RSVP Executive Director. “These funds will help us continue to deliver and expand outreach and assistance to some of our area’s most vulnerable populations, including disadvantaged high school students and low-income veterans hoping to attend college. Our innovative virtual tutoring program helps corporate employees support this initiative.”
“Canine Partners for Life’s relationship with SEI has continued to strengthen for nearly six years, and we thank SEI for continuing a tradition of giving back to local organizations,” said Darlene Sullivan, Founder and Executive Director of Canine Partners for Life. “We are delighted to be selected as a beneficiary of this year’s Rush Hour Run. The donation will help support our Prison Puppy Raising Program.”
