When it all started in 2001, there was a hopeful vision of 2,000 to 3,000 runners and walkers as 'We Gather' reached its 10th edition. Mission accomplished in 2010…and nearly as many this year; as on a cool and brilliantly sunny Thanksgiving morning, a crowd of 1,910 participants took to the streets of Cape Cod’s historic Town of Sandwich…each contributing groceries that would load the shelves of the Sandwich and Bourne food pantries for months to come!

Time Out! Productions would like to thank the following sponsors headlined by The Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank Charitable Foundation Trust for their incredible support of this traditional grocery-raising program: Richard H. Sadowski D.M.D; Shepley Wood Products; Maffei Landscape Contractors; The Wyatt Group; Canalside Printing; Marshland Restaurants; Pine Grove Cottages; Austin’s Inc; CR Signs; Costa The Fresh Idea Company; Cape Cod Bagel; Cape Cod Potato Chips; Ocean Spray; Kellogg’s Snacks; Green Mountain Coffee; Tootsie Roll; Bobby Byrne’s Restaurant & Pub; Poland Spring; Ice Cream Sandwich; Uncle Bob’s Self Storage; Federal Express; Granite State Race Services; Cavossa Disposal Corporation; Bousefield Sanitary Services and Hat’s Off For Randie.

Finally, several groups gave their time and energy in volunteer support including: Team Time Out!; Sandwich High School DECA and National Honor Society; Sandwich Boy Scout Troop 47 and Girl Scout Troops 37 and 826; Maffei Landscape Contractors and the Tim Moore family. A special ‘thank you’ goes out to The Town of Sandwich and the Henry T. Wing School for use of the staging venues…to the Sandwich Police and Fire Departments for their expert community safety services…and to the Sandwich Department of Public Works for keeping the 5K course roadways smooth!
