2016 Ion Bank Cheshire Half Marathon & 5K donated over $100,000 to

Cheshire High School where checks were presented to Abilities Without
Boundaries, SARAH Foundation, Best Buddies CT, the Cheshire Lions Club
and a number of Cheshire High School teams, clubs and organizations.

year in 2012, the Ion Bank Cheshire Half Marathon & 5K’s charitable
