Cincinnati, OH · · August 18, 2014 · · Ohio Valley Goodwill and Cincinnati’s Flying Pig Marathon’s newest feature, the Queen Bee Half Marathon, are joining together to do good things in support of our community. As a Royal sponsor of the Queen City’s newest event, Ohio Valley Goodwill will be involved in the Friday Queen Bee Expo hosting a donation station outside of the Horseshoe Casino as well as providing all of the accessories to help race participants take their best ” selfies” ever at the Queen Bee Photo Booths. On Race Day, Saturday, October 11th, Goodwill will not only be sponsoring a donation station but will be offering chances to win an extravagant Spa Pampering basket for all of its generous donors. The lucky winner will be announced at the Post-Race Party on October 11th.
