That’s right, on Saturday November 8th starting at 7 AM you get a chance to Outrun the FBI and have your money go to a great cause! The Phoenix FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association (FBICAAA) is sponsoring the first ever ‘Outrun the FBI’ race benefiting Educational programs for schools and parents on the safety of the internet. I have been told that all money raised for this event will stay in state so all the money raised will help kids and adults around the state.
So why is the event called ‘Outrun the FBI’?
Well it’s a 3.1 mile/5K race where runners and walkers will get a head start. Sometime after the racers/walkers are into the race the FBI runners will start and will try to outrun the field. All of those runners who beat the FBI will get a special “I outran the FBI” T-shirt. The race is open to individual runners and teams (must have at least 5 to a team and no more than 10 to a team).
Once runners cross the finish line, there will be a wide array of food, music, demonstrations by the FBI and other cool things to do. You don’t have to participate in the run to enjoy the family friendly fun, food, and music.
Check-in for the race begins at 7 AM and the Race starts promptly at 8:00 AM.
There will be awards handed out in many age categories and for teams as well.
Race Fees:
Before Oct. 31, 2008: $25/individual, $20/team member (teams must be 5-10 people); After Oct. 31, 2008: $30/individual, $25/team member

In case you haven’t heard, one of the biggest fundraisers of the year for the Phoenix Zoo, called Zoofari, is just around the corner on Friday October 3 from 7 PM to 11 PM. Zoofari has established itself as not only the key fundraising drive of the year for the Phoenix Zoo but as an amazing social event in Phoenix.
However, the Phoenix Zoo needs your help to make this event a lasting memory for all by volunteering behind the scenes for Zoofari.
At Zoofari you will have the opportunity to help the Phoenix Zoo raise funds for the Bornean Orangutans and their much needed expansion to their current habitat. Normally, the proceeds for this event go to the Zoo’s general operation funds. However, for this year’s edition of Zoofari all of the funds will be directed towards building and expanding the Orangutan’s habitat.
One of the main reasons why this year’s edition of Zoofari is so important is because that by current estimates of deforestation and the destruction of animal habitats, the wild orangutans are very likely to become extinct within the next 10 years.
The Phoenix Zoo is looking for Volunteers to help make Zoofari the greatest fundraising event in their history and to help stop the Orangutans current path to extinction. Zoofari is expected to be attended by over 2,000 residents of Phoenix who want to help the Phoenix Zoo keep these magnificent animals from going extinct.
The evening is set up to be one of the biggest if not the best social events of the year. Zoofari will have 10 bands playing across five stages playing all types of live music. Music will range from Jazz to Brazilian, to Rock. The entire event will be emceed by Legendary Phoenix News Broadcaster Pat McMahon who himself is offering a auction item called ‘A Day with Pat McMahon’. There will also be some very unique performers ‘blending’ into the crowd as it were. I could try to explain it but why don’t I let the video do the talking:
In addition to the entertainment, Zoofari has also established themselves as the the quintessential food and beverage event of the year. There will be over thirty food and beverage vendors offering the best culinary samples the City of Phoenix has to offer.
Furthermore, there will be numerous ways that guests to Zoofari can donate money during the event. From the silent auction, to souvenir sales, and raffle tickets. All of the guests to this important event will have many different ways they can help out the Phoenix Zoo during Zoofari.
With all that’s going on as explained above, you can guess that an event like this can’t run itself. The Phoenix Zoo needs your help to make this fundraising event the best Zoofari ever.
So, how can you help you ask?
Simple.
Just sign up to volunteer for this once in a lifetime event (must be at least 21 years of age to participate). All you have to do is just follow the directions on this page:
Don’t delay as all of the volunteer spots for Zoofari are going very quickly! Plus you will need to attend an orientation session at the Phoenix Zoo before Zoofari arrives on your calendar.
