OBTC comes to aid of local Little League The Ocean Beach Town Council’s (OBTC) board of directors has unanimously agreed to donate $1,000 from the organization’s general fund to directly help replace local Little League equipment lost last year to arson, according to OBTC officials. The fire destroyed the storage facility and all the equipment inside, leading to about $7,500 in loss.  According to OBTC officials, the insurance plan that the Little League had didn’t cover fire.   The OBTC also agreed to sponsor a team (the Cubs).   OBTC members said they are challenging other local organizations, businesses, individuals and public officials to donate as well. To donate or for more information about the local Little League, call Kevin Otsuka at (858) 229-7619. To contact the OBTC, call Jim Musgrove at (619) 269-8369 or Dan Allemeier at (619) 616-9933. Undy 5000 set to aid foundation They might try to keep this brief. The debut of the San Diego “Undy 5000 5K Run/Walk” will take place Saturday, March 6 at 8 a.m. at the NTC Promenade at Liberty Station in Point Loma. Organizers said the event stands out from many other 5K events because participants run in specially-designed boxer-style shorts, providing a fun way to bring attention to a serious disease. The family-oriented event is open to all ages, and will include a family fun run and childrens’ activities. The event will kick off March as National Colorectal Cancer AwarenessMonth. The Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA), a national patient advocacy organization, is dedicated to ending the suffering caused by colorectal cancer, will host the event. The Undy 5000 is held in different cities across the country throughout the year. The goal is to educate the public about colon cancer, promote screenings and get people talking about the deadly, but preventable, disease. A percentage of the local proceeds will benefit the California Colorectal Cancer Coalition (C4). The event takes place at Rosecrans Street and Womble Road in Point Loma.
