Run, Walk and THRIVE!

Saturday, May 10th, could not have been a more beautiful day for the 10th Annual Run&Walk 4 Life, our signature fund raising event held for the first time at our corporate facility in the Central West End.

We're still tallying participation and revenue information, but we already know that several hundred people registered and that we raised in excess of $100,000!

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Development Manager Erin Herwig and her event committee chaired by Rachael and Jason Porter, there was truly something for everyone, making for an inspiring day spent in celebration of human life!

Additional information, including lists of participating churches, schools, and organizations is being added daily, so check back for an update.
The event has generated enormous interest and support, and we'll be following all leads during the next several weeks, visiting with sponsors, donors, and key participants who have embraced our mission and our organization. Run&Walk 4 Life 2008 has created powerful momentum and we believe more great results are still to come!
