Event Sponsor:
This event is due to the tireless efforts and generosity of Chester Gibbs. If not for his vision and financial support, the first fun run would be just an idea. Instead we are now celebrating the third annual Mary Gibbs Memorial Fun Run and Walk.
Chester is a long-time friend and employee of the San Luis Obispo County YMCA. For over 15 years, he and his late wife Mary, came to reflect the essence of what community means at the YMCA. Mary, at Chester's side, spent many years as a volunteer with the Y and touched people's hearts in many ways. Mary's legacy is what we might all hope for ourselves, that the essence of who we are lives on through others. She is with us in our hearts are we celebrate her legacy with this run, thanks to Chester's generosity.
Please come be a part of it, and join our community at the YMCA.
