On Thursday 12/6/12, The Maplewood Lions presented the beneficiaries of the annual Maplewood in Motion 5K race with checks. More than $6500 was raised to support local charities.

The Lions thank all participants, volunteers, and sponsors, and invite all to participate again next year in this worthy endeavor.
