Cenikor, a two-year rehab program based in Deer Park on Glenwood Ave means a lot to FLS. They really do change lives. We have seen it firsthand. Graduation is every three months and is open to the public, always on a Saturday night at 6pm. I was proud to be the guest speaker on June 6 for the summer graduation. The sobriety success rate is above 94% for those completing the program.

Cenikor works hard and early at all Finish Line Sports races. We donate money, new Asics running shoes, as well as lots of t-shirts. Signmeup.com has an option for additional contributions to Cenikor when registering online for FLS races. I just want to say thanks. This will enable us to contribute  another couple thousand dollars yearly to this cause, due to your generosity.   

Ft. Bend county runners and walkers have FORT BEND FIT to help prepare for their first marathon or half-marathon.
