Falls Foundation for Excellence in Education
The Tinton Falls Foundation for Excellence in Education is a non-partisan, non-political, not for profit organization dedicated to encouraging timely, innovative projects which enrich the educational process by providing a supplemental source of funding to teachers, students and the community.
The Foundation raises money through community oriented fund raising activities and makes this money available in the form of grants to assist staff in creating and implementing exciting programs, purchase materials/equipment, and seek training opportunities which otherwise might not be possible, and which will foster motivation, achievement, creativity and academic growth in the educational community of Tinton Falls.
Scholarship: The Foundation has instituted a scholarship fund available to graduating seniors of Monmouth Regional High School who have attended Tinton Falls Middle Schools. Applications and details on qualifications are available from the MRHS Guidance Counselor. Our $1000.00 Scholarship recipients for 2012 are: Joanna Stanton and Shannon Reilly - Good Luck!

We are excited to announce our 7th Annual 5K Run/Walk with many NEW and Updated Features...
New This Year! Elite Racing Systems!
Our number one issue over the years has been the timing and posting of accurate race results. We are pleased to announce that this year's company "hosting/running" the event will be Elite Racing Systems.... their name says it all. They are the same certified staff that take care of the Spring Lake and Belmar 5K as well as most of the other large 5K events in the area.
New This Year! Pour House After Party Event!
The Pour House has generously agreed to host an after party following the race. In your goody bag there will be a plastic mug from Pour House (on Shrewsbury Avenue). Hop into your vehicle (or for the really hardy racers...run over) to the Pour House, present your mug and enjoy $1.00 domestic drafts (no imports or specialty brews). Not a drinker? No problem join the party and enjoy $1.00 soft drinks.
New This Year! Road Runners Sports!
Don't want to get to the race at 8Am to register and pick up your goody bags? We have arranged for pre-registered runners to pick up their race numbers and goody bags (with that important plastic mug) at Road Runners Sports located at 490 Broad St. On Friday, Oct. 26th from 4-8PM, pick up your bag there and receive a 10% discount on any running gear purchased and be entered into a drawing for a free pair of shoes! (No purchase necessary)
New This Year! Free raffles giving away great door prizes for all participants…
Same As Last Year!
Get your registration forms in early and be automatically entered into a drawing for 6 Yankee tickets to a game of your choice. These seats include access for all 6 people to the Audi Club or Mohegan Sun, a great place to take a break from a hot sunny day or a rainy one.
