Making a difference

The Fourth Annual Annual Pacific Marine Credit Union O'side Turkey Trot benefits the Oceanside Schools, the Move Your Feet Before You Eat!® Foundation, and Virginia Ann Scheunemann Memorial Fund. Over the past three years, the event has raised more than $45,000 for Oceanside Schools, and the Move Your Feet Before You Eat Foundation!®. The race committee facilitated the donation of 180 NIKE shoes to the Oceanside Middle Schools in 2007! This year the foundation will be placing motivational banners in downtown Oceanside to help motivate residents and visitors to live healthy active lifestyles and combat the epidemic of obesity in America.
