From the April 16, 2008 issue of the Danbury Review: 
Philanthropy. A big word which meant a lot of good for a lot of organizations in this area. The Nuns on the Run have kept up their annual generosity by donating to a number of non-profit groups.The Nuns on the Run, a group of mothers, grandmothers, and aunts who belong to the Catholic, Methodist, and Lutheran churches, have been running for at least a dozen years. They have vowed to use the fee they receive from their gigs to help the organizations in their own community. They keep enough money to pay for their transportation and any supplies needed. Last year's intake totalled $6,250 in donations. The biggest benefactor was the Danbury Community Club who received $2,000 to pay for the inflatable games which were used at Danbury's 125th celebration last year. Danbury Fire Department and Danbury Ambulance Service each received $500. Scholarships for $500 each were given to two MVAO graduates last May. St. Mary's Catholic Church, Danbury United Methodist Church, and St. Matthew Lutheran Church, all of which have members who are Nuns, were each given $450. The senior citizens meal program benefitted with a $200 donation. Five families had a merrier Christmas as they were adopted with $100. Willow Dale Wellness Center and Maple Heights Nursing Home were given $100 each for their entertainment funds. A group of very normal ladies |
