[Peace] 5k run for a great cause / Alternative Spring Break

[Karen Medina]

I can personally advocate for the Alternative Spring Break program as
a great way to educate college students about poverty and social
issues in the United States. -karen medina

The University YMCA is having a 5k run /walk on October 17th to raise
money for their ASB programs. (The participants usually have to pay to
go on an ASB trip, but some students cannot afford the fee.  The local
Y has a scholarship fund for these people).

See the official info on the 5k run/walk below...

But, also consider being a chaperone for an Alternative Spring Break trip.
