"Out of all the races that benefit non-profits, this one is the most unique and
rewarding to be a part of – it's not every day you have the chance to run without your
vision," said Spencer Churchill, FBC instructor and Stride for Sight team organizer.
This year's event was bigger and better than ever before. It featured food, music,
free chair massages, a silent auction, a gourmet coffee truck, a blindfolded obstacle
course for kids, and homemade French pastries and bread, courtesy of a family from
France who moved to Phoenix just so their child could attend FBC!
Participants enjoyed visits from mascots Howler, of the Arizona Coyotes hockey
team, and Spirit from the Fiesta Bowl. They also reveled in bidding on an opportunity to
throw a snowball at FBC's CEO, Marc Ashton, during next year's Snow Day event!
