DURKEES BREAD FOR SCHOOLS 5K & HALF MARATHON RUN
2 months ago
This video was produced to share how a team of high school basketball players from Fabius, NY, "Da Boys of 1956-57" (Hoosiers before the movie was even conceived) reunited 50 years after their amazing championship season, then embarking on a journey to create a new legacy, by honoring two great men. These two men were Albert J. Durkee and Michael C. Antil, Sr., and many years ago, were best friends and partners in a large bakery in Central NY. The bakery had an enormous impact in the region. To memorialize these great men, "Da Boys" came up with a unique concept to raise money for schools across the USA. They organized a memorial half marathon, 5K, and "angel runners", naming it " Durkee's Bread for Schools Run... it's a cake walk" . The inaugural event was held October 11th, 2009 and was a smashing first year success, sending over $10,000 to schools around the country in addition to handing out donated prize money of $12,000 to the winning runners.
