Band on the Run was a huge success

Community Living Huntsville would like to thank the Band on the Run organizers and all involved for their support and generosity.

Months prior to the event Community Living Huntsville, along with the broader community, trained weekly at various locations in Huntsville. The training certainly paid off and everyone received a medal for their success and accomplishments. Congratulations to everyone who participated in the event!

The Band on the Run was on Saturday June 10, 2017, with people participating from near and far. The event ended with a fun concert where everyone had an opportunity to celebrate together.
