5K to benefit Agape House

Agape House provides a school, safe home, and counseling for hurting teen girls who, along with their families, are seeking help.

Registration is now open for Agape’s Annual Run, Walk, Stroll event, held during National Child Abuse Prevention Month to increase awareness of all forms of abuse and how those in need can be helped.

The event will be held at Agape House Saturday, April 29 with registration open from 8:30 to 9:45 a.m., the event kicking off at 10 a.m., and lunch to follow from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (in the multipurpose room at Agape House.)

The deadline for pre-registration is April 10, with $20 including a commemorative t-shirts, lunch and entry to the 5K. Those who register after April 10, including on-site registration the day of the event, will pay $30 for each participant and are not guaranteed a t-shirt.

Though children 16 and younger can participate for free, a registration form for each child must be completed. At a cost of $5 for each item, children can participate in lunch and receive a t-shirts.

For those who choose to be a sponsor of $100 or more in donations, the entry fee is waived. Prizes will be awarded to the three highest sponsorship monies raised for the event.
