"We're pleased to welcome our latest sponsors to the race and are grateful to them for partnering with us in our effort to make life better for the children and families in our communities," said Robert Paz, the firm's managing director. "We were thrilled with the success of last year's inaugural event, which raised nearly $43,000 for St. Joseph's Children's Hospital's Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Department. We fully expect that this year's race will draw even more participants and sponsorship support."

"It's a great event, and we are happy to be a sponsor for the second year," said Peter Luciano, a partner of Balance Point Payroll. "St. Joseph's Children's Hospital is a tremendous organization and we couldn't pass up on the opportunity to support them. Not only is this event for a great cause, but we've had a wonderful, successful relationship with Sax Macy Fromm over the years and it's a pleasure to support their foundation as well. We are very much looking forward to participating in the run."
