                                                 Take the Lake 2011

                                                Want to join us in building the fitness of Columbus County?

                                                By now you have heard of  Take the Lake, an expansion of a treasured Columbus County tradition at one of its most beautiful natural resources. We are optimistic that this event will grow to be an important and popular feature of life in Columbus County.

                                                In many ways, rural Americans face a formidable battle against obesity and related diseases, and we believe that projects like Take the Lake will give our residents a fighting chance.

                                                We have had many opportunities for families and organizations to support this event through sponsorship, and are pleased to say that Columbus County has stood up to the task. 

                                                This project is backed by The News Reporter and Whiteville.com, and sponsors who support it enjoy the exposure this offers.
                                                With the help of our sponsors, we have been able to offer the people of Columbus County a free event that is exciting and motivating. We have also created longstanding products, including mile marker on roadways and on no-wake poles around Lake Waccamaw, and a loaner kit for people organizing their first race or fitness event.

                                                The people of Columbus County, and especially we on the Take the Lake team, greatly appreciate the support of community leaders, and we look forward to working with you in this battle for a fighting chance.

                                                Sincerely,

                                                The Take the Lake Organizational Team
                                                

                                                To possibly be one of the elite sponsors of this exciting fitness event, please contact us.
