Vince Canning Stiletto Race was created by Vince Canning

Denkler to celebrate the store’s 60th year on Atlantic
Avenue. Vince Canning spent decades giving to those in need,
reaching out to all walks, races and religions. Among his
many philanthropic activities, Vince continuously supports
the Achievement Centers for Children & Families since its
inception. LaRonda Denkler states, “We are honored that this
funky event honors Vince’s legacy and brings together the
local business and residences to support a community
nonprofit close to our hearts.”
For those entrants with a competitive spirit,
prizes will be awarded to each category winner including:
Women’s 75 Meter Dash, Men’s 75 Meter Dash, 65+ Silver
Sneaker, Relay, Runaway Bride, Most Creative Shoe and Sexy
Strut. Anyone with a passion for supporting a local
nonprofit, with a mission to develop and aid the community,
is encouraged to sign up- that means you too men!
Racers who dare to run atop their heels pay a
$25 registration entry fee with proceeds directly supporting
the Achievement Center’s efforts to provide a nurturing and
educational environment for children and families in our
community facing the effects of poverty.
