5th Annual DFUMC Run for a Child 5K, 1 Mile Fun Run and Tot Trot to Benefit A Gift of Love

This family friendly race is open to all ages — from serious runners to walkers. Road Runners will earn $2 back to their school’s athletic program. The proceeds from this race are given to A Gift of Love, which sends backpacks of food and hygiene supplies to 579 local elementary students each Friday. They also provide food for these families during school breaks. These children would otherwise be hungry without access to school provided breakfast and lunch. A Gift of Love also supplies a new outfit, book bag and school supplies to almost 1,000 students each school year.
Online registration is available at http://www.active.com/villa-rica-ga/running/races/run-for-a-child-2014. Registration forms are also available from Douglasville First United Methodist Church, 6167 Prestley Mill Road, Douglasville, GA 30135 or by calling 770.942.3146 or by emailing runforachild5k@gmail.com.
