Organiser's Description
The Light Up the Night 5K is a fundraising, glow-in-the-dark, night-time, walk or run and will be timed by Finish Well Timing. This will be Western Carolina Rescue Ministries' 6th annual LIGHT UP THE NIGHT 5K race to raise funds and spread awareness of the ministrys community impact. This event will take place on Friday August 2, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. in Ashevilles Carrier Park, and all proceeds from this event will directly benefit WCRM.
Last year, your support gave a second chance to 26 moms and 46 babies in our Abbas House Recovery Program. The success of these moms would not be possible without your valuable contribution.
As we embark on another year of service and outreach, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. This year, we want to include you in playing an even greater role in our ministry. We will be pursuing funding for the need of life transformation across all our programs.
This event is one of the Ministrys most significant opportunities to raise funds in support of our community and these funds will be directly used to break the cycles of homelessness and addiction in our region. For the past 43 years, WCRM has been serving the homeless community of Asheville providing rescue, recovery, and restoration to people in crisis. We care for our clients with dignity, providing help, hope, and opportunity for our ministry participants to reengage in society. Whether its a hot meal, a warm shelter, or recovery from addiction, our compassion shines on everyone we meet.
