_ The 2018 5K Race for Hope:
Join Emmanuel Baptist Church (EBC) as we put on our third annual 5k Race for Hope! Our goal is to create an environment where the church and community can join together in raising awareness and hope for those in our midst who suffer from human trafficking, drug addiction and other areas of injustice.
Registration opens at 8:00am; Race begins at 9:00am
The course winds through beautiful tree-lined neighborhoods. It's a family friendly event, so come and run, walk, or push a jogging stroller!
Money raised will go towards supporting the Amirah House, a faith-based nonprofit organization located in the Boston area that strives “to provide a refuge for those seeking to break free from exploitation and heal in community on their journey toward lasting hope.” The Amirah House provides safe homes for those that want to break free from sexual exploitation. They believe each human life is sacred, created in God’s image, and therefore, worthy of love, mercy and justice. It’s their goal that each woman served at Amirah will be restored and empowered with a sense of her inherent value and God-given strengths. Let's work together this year to contribute to a second Safe House for Amirah to provide the hope and care to help these ladies not only survive, but thrive!
Register early to take advantage of the $25* registration fee until May 5. After May 6, registration will be $30 per participant. All participants are encouraged to find sponsors to help raise funds over the registration fee to support the Amirah House.
