Headings:  Run to Remember
 
Eighteen CHP employees and runners from communities in Defiance, Williams and Fulton counties are lacing up their shoes to participate in the National Hospice Foundation’s (NHF) Run to Remember program.
 
Participants raise sponsorships and donations with the proceeds split between the NHF and the CHP hospice program. The CHP team will be running in the Chicago Marathon on Aug. 1. Its goal is to raise $1,000 per team member.
 
If you would like to participate by either running (or walking), or donating, visit www.runtoremember.org. On the website, click on "donate" and search for the person(s) you would like to support. Each participant has a webpage with their story.
 
Headings:  United Way Pacesetter
 
Community Health Professionals was named the pacesetter company for the 2010 United Way of Van Wert County Campaign. CHP was founded in part by a grant from United Way in 1975.
 
"The community has given so much to support CHP that we are glad to serve as pacesetter," said Shelly Barrett, CHP vice president of operations. "We have put together a committee and have been making plans for some extra fundraising events to reach our goal.
 
Among the fundraising plans is a sausage sandwich and dessert buffet, scheduled for Aug. 26 and a Scratch and Help game where a person scratches off two circles on a card and donates the amount, anywhere from 50 cents to three dollars. In exchange for the donation, the player receives coupons to local restaurants and businesses.
