The Youth Council's mission is to: improve the quality of life for Dobbs Ferry Youth, identify and address needs, provide leadership, and to enable adults and young people to work together.
All proceeds will benefit the holiday gift drive for families in need. The Youth Services Council raises money for underprivileged families in the Dobbs Ferry area, as identified through the Dobbs Ferry school system. Families submit a list of holiday gift ideas. The council purchases gifts and provides holiday dinners for the families.
The race takes place on the picaresque streets directly across from the Dobbs Ferry Middle and High School. It includes some medium sized hills, running along the Ardsley Country Club golf course, ending with a run down the middle of Cedar and Main Streets to the fire house.. It is a fun time for all and supports a seasonal cause, directly benefiting the local community.
