Ed Harris has been coaching, counseling, and encouraging young people to excel on the track, in school and in life for nearly 50 years. And the organization where Ed has been on the Board of Directors for 30 years - Youth In Need - would like to thank him for his service that continues to this day. Were honoring him at our annual fundraiser this year, but we want his tribute to go far beyond that.

Thats where we need your help!
