While the demands of being president of one of the largest gay and lesbian athletic clubs in the world tires out most mere mortals by the end (if not the middle) of a calendar year, Gerben led Front Runners for an astoundi-Ag five consecutive terms. He grew the club from a 35-member informal gang of runners in January, 19 81, to a 400+-member force to be reckoned with in the New York City running scene by the end of his last term in 1985. Though his overdeveloped sense of modesty would prevent him from saying it, Gerben laid the foundation for so many of the club's successes-and he did so during a tumultuous time for gays in New York. After visiting San Francisco in the early 80s and witnessing its Pride Run, he tackled organizing a similar event in Central Park. Despite naysayers and Parks Department obstacles, Gerben and a fleet of loyal members put on an event that is still recalled fondly. The tradition lives on this year with the 26th running of the Front Runner NY Lesbian and Gay Pride Run. Gerben and his partner, Bob Buckley, now split time between New York and Florida, but he still supports the club at Saturday runs and makes it to the Pride Run whenever he can. This year the club is bestowing the inaugural Steve Gerben award to the first male and female FRNY finishers. By doing so, we hope to bridge the club's rich past with the promise of its future. FRNY would like to take this opportunity to thank Steve Gerben for creating a home for gay and lesbian athletes of all shapes, sizes, speeds and abilities. THE MJ:CKEY lACUTO AWARD The Mickey Zacuto award is given to the first Front Runners New York male and female master runners (age 40+) in the five mile race. This award has been endowded by Mickey's family in graditude for the love and support she recieved from Front Runners throughout most of her adult life. Mickey was a true activist, as well as a member of FRNY from 1983 til her sudden death in 1993. FRNY fondly remembers her as one of the club's most supportive members as well as its general conscience. �FRONT RUNNERS NEW YORK FRNY.ORG �2 0 q PRIDE RUN SPONSORS Official Sponsor Continental Airlines Sponsors Super Runners Shop Crunch Fitness Supporters Gym Bar Harlem United INDIVIDUAL GOLD MEDALISTS Michael R.

Throughout the year, the Charitable Foundation considers entreaties from those in need and selects worthy recipients for various types of aid. The Foundation's big annual event comes each December when it sponsors a group or organization in need for the Community Holiday Wish Baskets Program. In the past, this program has, among other things, given homeless men living with AIDS hygiene kits so that they could better care for' themselves. A wide range of noble causes have been served by the FRNY Charitable Foundation, and by donating a portion of the proceeds from this year's race to the Foundation, Front Runners seeks to keep its mission alive and well. �Dave Lin and Dane Graiils Congratulate Front Runners New York!
