Description

Running for a Cause:1All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Kidz2Leaders program. kidz2leaders, inc. exists to help change the lives of prisoners children in the metro-Atlanta and to break the vicious cycle of incarceration. We help them rise above their circumstances, teach them to become leaders and provide a life of hope. kidz2leaders hosts an annual summer camp, Camp Hope, as the entry point into these childrens lives.The Cause Continued2In Camp Hopes 12 years, kidz2leaders has worked with over 400 campers and their families. While Camp Hope happens just once a year, kidz2leaders has ongoing relationships with the kids. One-fourth of the children work with mentors, a program they hope to grow to 100% participation. The hope4christmas program ensures their families have gifts and groceries over Christmas. There are also counselor retreats and other events throughout the year to keep the kids connected and focused on their goals.Visit the Kidz 2 Leaders Website!3http://www.kidz2leaders.org/Race Site & Parking4The race will start and finish at the Perimeter Place Office Building at the corner of Mt.
