Adams and Reese, Breazeale, Sachse & Wilson and Kean Miller Law Firms competed in the “Book Throwdown.” Kean Miller came in first place donating 513 books, followed by Breazeale, Sachse & Wilson, and Adams and Reese.
Top runners in 13 male/female age categories were awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals. Stephanie Anaya won the overall female award coming in at 18:21 and Tim Francis won the overall male award coming in at 16:20. The largest corporate and school team awards were given to the Department of Environmental Quality and Gonzales Middle School, respectively.
