EYE PRO, Inc. — makers of WINK-EASE and VIEWkeepers and world leader in disposable eyewear, recently helped nearly 500 runners cool down with Fresh-Ease Refreshing Body Cloths for After Tanning during the fourth annual Alliance Rotary Castle 2-mile & 10K Fun Run in Alliance, Ohio over Labor Day weekend.

Over 455 runners participated in the 2-mile or 10K race, one of the premier races of the Subway Challenge Series. The race is held on the 20 1/2 acre grounds of Glamorgan Castle, a unique historic complex and now home to the Alliance City School District administrative offices. All money raised goes to Rotary charities to help local projects.

Tammy Mathia, owner of Sunbeam Tanning, was a registered runner of the Alliance Rotary Castle 10K race and a sponsor of the event.  “I use Fresh-Ease after using a tanning bed to cool down and remove tanning odor,” explained Mathia. “As a runner, I also love using the Fresh-Ease product  because it’s a very refreshing cloth to wipe my body off with when I’m finished with my runs,” she concluded.

Sunbeam Tanning Salon supported the race participants and all received free goodie bags which included EYE PRO’s Fresh-Ease Refreshing Body Cloths, as well as other donated products.  The gift bags were a big success and Mathia knew Fresh-Ease would be a perfect for all the runners.
