The 2011 DOUGHMAN presented by Harris, Inc. = $UCCE$$
WOW! The 2011 DOUGHMAN presented by Harris, Inc., was a HUGE success, thanks to our phenomenal volunteers, racers and spectators who ROSE to the Challenge. We’d like to congratulate Team Dain’s Place, who edged out the defending champs, Suffern All Stars, to reign supreme as the DOUGHMAN victors. Third place went to Prodoughceratops; full results and times can be found here.
While the spectacle of the DOUGHMAN gets people excited, our ultimate “grand prize” is being able to contribute to the thriving Durham community while promoting sustainability, the local food scene and beloved local charities, SEEDS and SeeSaw Studio. It’s all about the kids!! Team fundraising alone generated nearly $17,000!! This year, three teams raised more than $1,500 each to qualify for an unprecedented six-minute time bonus. Team Public Mastication topped our fundraising leaderboard with a $3,400 contribution, earning them complete adoration and a guaranteed entry in next year’s DOUGHMAN. Team DOC brought $1,510 to the table, along with $1,500 from team Victorious Secret. We. Are. Amazed.
We also want to recognize the winners of the “Spirit of Durham Award," which is given to the team whose costume best represents the city of Durham – team Macho Men. Costumes were judged by kids who participate in the SEEDS and SeeSaw Studio programs. Thanks to our official photographer, Heba Salama, who captured all of the glory of the DOUGHMAN. Take a look through her image gallery here (password:doughman). Buy a few pictures, too – a portion of the proceeds go to the DOUGHMAN.
We still have a few beans to count before we come to our final tally for the 2011 DOUGHMAN, but early estimates indicate that we’ll be able to beat our $25,000 DOUGH-nation from last year. As a reminder, all funds will be split evenly between SEEDS and SeeSaw Studio.
Thanks again for such an INCREDIBLE race and DOUGHMAN hEArTs Durham Banquet. We hope to see all of you next year … it’s the yeast you can do.
