Race to Raise Funds for Girls' Rescue Center

September 1, 2010 
The Greeley Tribune 

A 5K/10K walk and run to benefit the Kenya Girls' Rescue Center by Christ Community Church in Greeley is set for Sept. 18.

The race, which starts with registration at 7:30 a.m. and begins at 9 a.m., will benefit the Olooloitikosh Project, which helps girls avoid practices of female genital mutilation and forced marriages. The center is a way for them to escape their abusive families and build their own lives.

The race costs $25 in advance or $30 on the day of the race. If you bring a clean, nearly new clothing item you can get $5 off the price of the race. All sizes and styles are OK.

Register in person at the church, 1301 15th St. in Greeley. You can go to www.cccgreeley.org to print out a form to take to the church.
