“We are very grateful for their efforts and delighted to be on their team.” “The Highland City Striders are a great group of people who care about their community,” said Kelly McCausland, executive director of the Addiction Referral Center. The group collected 40 bags of trash – including 220 Fireball nips – on their runs for two weeks this fall and individual runners donated more than $2,000 to the Addiction Referral Center. That success continued this year, as the Striders recently completed this year’s Fireball Challenge. Kittredge was not the only member to donate to the center, as the Striders pitched in more than $1,600 for the center last year, he said. “I didn’t expect us to find 185, but we did,” Kittredge said with a laugh. Last year, the group collected 185 nip bottles. Thus, the Highland City Striders Fireball Challenge was born. He pledged to donate $1 for each nip bottle collected to Marlborough’s Addiction Referral Center. Kittredge challenged his fellow runners in the club to pick up the discarded nip bottles during their runs. We saw an overabundance of Fireball nips.”
“It was just extremely cluttered,” said David Kittredge, vice president of the Marlborough and Hudson-based running club. MARLBOROUGH – Running the streets surrounding Ghiloni Park last year, members of the Highland City Striders noticed an increasing amount of trash – particularly Fireball whiskey nip bottles – on the sides of the road.
