HISTORY
Ellen
Ellen's Run is held in honor of Ellen Vala Schneider. Ellen was a long time resident of Section V in Chevy Chase and a tireless volunteer in a wide range of community programs and causes. Ellen's Run will benefit two charities in which Ellen was very active: Mental Health Association of Montgomery County, on whose Board of Directors she served, and the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School Community Scholarship Fund, of which she was Chair.
Mental Health Association
MHA promotes wellness and supports those with mental illness by sponsoring and implementing advocacy, education, and community service programs. A private, nonprofit agency, MHA has served residents of Montgomery County for 50 years, and currently manages 10 major direct service programs for children, teens, families, senior adults, and individuals with long-term mental illness. Over 1000 volunteers implement programs under the direction of MHA's professional staff.
B-CC High School Community Scholarship Fund
The B-CC HS Community Scholarship Fund offers "last dollar" scholarships to help bridge the gap between the actual costs of college and other scholarships and loans. Awardees reflect the broad diversity of the B-CC school community as well as a shared determination to overcome obstacles. Every dollar collected by the Fund helps a well-deserving student to meet his or her educational goals.
