  • Central Night Shelter is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization started in 1981 by an ecumenical group concerned about the growing problem of homelessness here in Atlanta. It has evolved into a winter night shelter serving the needs of 90-100 homeless men in downtown Atlanta from November 1^st through March 31^st. Open seven nights a week, the Shelter provides guests with a hot meal, bagged lunch and breakfast, showers, access to medical and foot care, recreational activities such as Yoga, basketball, and the chance to be part of a choir.
  • The Bashor family has been an integral part of Central Night Shelter for over 30 years. Mark Bashor served as Executive Director for many years until Katie Bashor took over in 2000 and served that role tirelessly until her untimely death in April of 2016. Their children, Ryan and Jessie, grew up working at the Shelter spending time there every week with Mark and Katie. Ryan Bashor died August 6^th, 2014 after a very private battle with bipolar disorder.  This race is named for Ryan in tribute and as a reminder of the stigma attached to mental illness that prevents so many, housed and unhoused alike, from seeking help.
