Centennial Cross Country Raises $13,000

with Memorial 5K

 

 

On February 1^st, the Centennial Cross Country team hosted their 6^th annual Sam Robb Memorial 5K & Fun Run at Newtown Park. This race was started by Andy George, a 2010 Centennial Graduate to honor the memory of Sam Robb, a 2005 Centennial HS Graduate.  Andy is the son of Sam’s doctor, Dr. Bradley George, Oncologist at Children’s Health Care of Atlanta Scottish Rite. When Sam relapsed in 2007, Andy (a member of the Centennial Cross Country Team) wanted to do something in Sam’s memory to benefit CURE Childhood Cancer. Andy’s younger brother Ian, currently a Centennial junior, served as this year’s race organizer as the run brought in over $13,000. To date, the Sam Robb Memorial 5K & Fun Run has raised almost $70,000 for CURE Childhood Cancer.
