The Great Oaks Club would like to start an annual "Team Sidwell" GOLD sponsorship/participation for this year's Wilmington Blue Ribbon Run to be held on Saturday March 22, 2025. This local Wilmington charity was founded 10-years ago to honor two Wilmington Moms (Julie Brown and Christina Gianoplus) who lost their battles to colorectal cancer, like Sandra Sidwell. At a Gold level sponsorship level, Great Oaks will get six (6) registrations & six (6) T-shirts with Great Oaks Team Sidwell sponsorship listed. These 6 registrations/T-shirts will be raffled off to donating GO members at the end of the February meeting. You can get more information at the Blue Ribbon Run website https://theblueribbonrun.org/ and info on how to purchase registrations How to Donate to Great Oaks Gold Level Sponsorship:
