Organiser's Description

This event is more than just a race; it's a heartfelt tribute to the enduring spirit of Janie Grace Moss and a powerful way to invest in the future of deserving students.

Janie Grace Moss was a beacon of light at Goodpasture Christian School and our Goodlettsville and surrounding Sumner County community, known for her unconditional love, servant heart, joyful spirit and unwavering faith. To honor her legacy, all proceeds from the 5K from this first year will directly benefit the Live Love Like Janie Grace Scholarship Fund. This scholarship provides financial assistance to seniors who embody Janie Grace's extraordinary qualities, ensuring that her impact will continue to inspire and uplift future generations. Subsequent years will have proceeds go towards Goodlettsville and Sumner County Charities like Grace Place, and the City of Children Orphanage in Ensenada, Mexico as these were causes near and dear to her heart.

BY SUPPORTING AND PARTICIPATING IN THE JANIE GRACE MOSS BE THE LIGHT 5K, YOU WILL DEMONSTRATE A PROFOUND COMMITMENT TO EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. YOUR SUPPORT WILL DIRECTLY HELP STUDENTS ACHIEVE THEIR ACADEMIC DREAMS, CARRYING FORWARD JANIE GRACE'S MESSAGE OF LIVING WITH LOVE AND LIGHT.
