Proceeds from the event, which was held on September 21, are being donated to Habitat for Humanity's Operation Home Delivery program, which is designed to help rebuild homes in the hurricane-affected areas.
The 5K usually generates $500 to $1,000 in proceeds that are then donated. Nalco matched the proceeds from the 5K Race at 100 percent. The company also encouraged each exhibiting company and sponsoring association to do the same thing: match the proceeds from the race, up to $1,000 per company.
