With the help of Northwestern Mutual, Altar84 is hosting its second annual Know More Orphans 5K at Veterans Park on June 7 to benefit the organization. The 5K registrations will begin at 6:30 a.m., and the race will begin at 8 a.m. A 1-mile family fun run will begin at 9 a.m.
Founded in 2011, Altar84 formed with the mission to help orphans locally and globally by providing care and finding adoptive homes. The nonprofit ministry’s efforts are a combined strategy of action and faith, seeking to alter the lives of orphans through resources and a strong belief in God.
Along with the race, there will be awards, snow cones, popcorn, live music and door prizes. Registration before the day is $30, and registration on the day of the event is $35. For more information, visit altar84.org or call Jen Batson at 222-2442.
