Young Life, a nonprofit, nondenominational group that offers Christian outreach in some Birmingham-area schools, will host its annual Frostbite 5K fundraiser at Veterans Park in Hoover on Saturday, Jan. 30.
The Frostbite 5K will begin at 9 a.m., and the Fun Run will begin at 9:30 a.m.
There will be male and female age group winners with customized medals, and T-shirts, drinks, snacks and swag bags will be provided to all participants.
The volunteer leaders at Young Life help counsel and encourage kids in the turbulent times of middle school and high school. These leaders attend plays, lunches, breakfasts, football games and other sporting events, with the goal of building friendships that point adolescents to Jesus Christ.
Young Life area ministries include Spain Park and Oak Mountain high schools.
The entry fees are $35 for the Frostbite 5K and $25 for the Fun Run. Donations are tax-deductible, and all proceeds benefit Birmingham SouthYoung Life.
Veterans Park is located at 4800 Valleydale Road. To register for the event, go to birminghamsouth.younglife.org.
