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 am proud to have served as a keynote speaker for 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 race checks, 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 enables 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. They meet every Saturday morning early at Velocity Sports (Hwy 6 and Dulles) in Missouri City for long runs and seminars. Contact Coach Terrie Gorney at http://www.fortbendfit.org or call 832-443-1017. Great beginning program.
