| Additional Info: |
 Scott Coffee founded and chaired the Moorestown Rotary Run since 1984. What was originally a small fundraiser with participation of around 125 runners has become a major fundraiser for the Rotary with a class field of over 850 runners. When Scott passed away shortly after the 2006 race, it not only left a huge void in our lives, but an active, dedicated and generous volunteer to our community was tragically silenced. In his honor, Moorestown Rotary has changed the name of the race and founded the Scott Coffee Education Endowment which will provide scholarships for deserving High School Students. |
