Cohen & Thomas is one of our sponsors with a very special "view" of the race. In fact, they are at the corner of one of the pivotal points inthe race. The venerable Derby law firm is located at the corner of Olivia and Main Streets in Derby and the runners are looking straight at it as they cross the Derby/Shelton bridge and turn onto Main Street. One of the things that they'll notice in the windows are the large posters of encouragement urging them on from their friends at Cohen & Thomas.
Dominic Thomas grew up in Derby not too far up Olivia Street from where the course is run today. He's a very active member of the community and is involved in many Valley nonprofits including the Boys & Girls Club, Valley United Way and the Birmingham Group to name just a few. His long time partner, Jamie Cohen, whose father started the firm, changed careers and is now heading the Valley community Foundation another great race sponsor.
