Kansas Pulls out a Win in 2012 Rivalry Run

Last Saturday, August 18, 2012, Kansas pulled out a win at the 3rd annual Rivalry Run, a 5k race between Kansas and Missouri participants. It could have been the visit from Baby Jay in morning which helped motivate the Kansas runners as they ended with 663 to Missouri's 632.

The Rivalry Run, the main fundraising event for the not-for-profit organization Domestic Violence Protection Services Agency (DVPSA), saw over 900 participants this year as the "border war" with Kansas versus Missouri came together to "run off domestic violence."

The runners start out to run the 3.1 mile course
in Downtown Kansas City. All proceeds go to the DVPSA.

The DVPSA is a not-for-profit agency "founded with the idea that battered women need more than a protection order to ensure their safety." The agency assists in protecting families with providing trained, off-duty law enforcement to evaluate the situation and provide protection, as well as a home security system to help protect against unauthorized entry into the home.

Atronic Alarms was one of the sponsors of the event for the 2nd year in a row.
