Radiant Systems Sprint for Cancer Charity Race Goes National

Inaugural Dallas 5K and 1K run/walk event exceed goals

DALLAS (October 5, 2009) – The Radiant Charity Corporation, the nonprofit organization supported by Radiant Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: RADS), today announced the success of its Dallas office’s inaugural Sprint for Cancer charity race. The race was held in Los Colinas, Texas on September 12 and raised over $8,000 for Young Texans Against Cancer (YTAC).

“We are thrilled that our inaugural race went off so smoothly despite the weather. Thank you to our employee volunteers and sponsors for helping to make this event such a success,” said Paul Langenbahn, president of the hospitality division at Radiant Systems. “Radiant’s Sprint for Cancer is a great way for the company to give back to the community we live in by supporting Young Texans Against Cancer." 

The Dallas-Fort Worth race is an expansion of the original Sprint for Cancer race hosted in Atlanta that has raised nearly $500,000 since 2003 and benefits local Atlanta charities such as the Georgia Cancer Foundation. This year close to 500 people registered for the Dallas 5K and 1K race, and over 75 volunteers supported pre-race and race-day efforts. Radiant’s Dallas office raised over $8,000, exceeding goals both for number of participants and total proceeds donated as well as succeeding in building a strong foundation for years to come.  

"Young Texans Against Cancer was thrilled to be the beneficiary of the Radiant Systems Sprint for Cancer run," said Shawn Walsh, president of Young Texans Against Cancer. "Despite the rain, people showed up and helped us raise money that will go towards helping in the fight against cancer and ultimately save lives."
