Cody's Run at OU Surpasses Fundraising Goals

Norman, OK - Cody's Run, an annual 5K and fun walk started by an OU staff member in honor of Cody Ponder, her deceased husband and a former OU staff member, was held Saturday and exceeded the fundraising goals for this year's race.  Before the event started, it was announced that it had exceeded its $20,000 goal, raising more than $23,000. Last year, it raised about $15,000. Those on the race's committee hope to eventually raise $150,000 for the Cody Ponder Emergency Endowment fund, which goes toward helping patients of OU's Stephenson Cancer Center, where Ponder received treatment during his battle against esophageal cancer.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
