Organiser's description
The Northern Guilford High School PTSA is proud to sponsor our Fourth Annual NIGHTHAWKS RACE AGAINST HUNGER ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2023. Hunger & food insecurity remain a major issue in our local school & extended community. This year, the majority of the proceeds will go to the NGHS PTSA to support a number of initiatives including Advocacy, Mini Grants, Hospitality and Teacher Appreciation and 100% of the food collected and a portion of the proceeds will go to Guilford Backpack Ministry (https://backpackministry.wixsite.com/backpacks). Guilford Backpack Ministry is a 100% volunteer organization that supports food insecure students at Northern and the surrounding schools. They serve 12 northern and northwest Guilford County schools, providing shelf-stable food for 250+ students a year, including over 120 students at Northern and its feeder schools.
