Nov 3Last month, runners and supporters gathered for the inaugural Old 41 Run 5K, hosted by the Burton and Matthews families in support of City of Refuge.The race took participants along historic Old 41 Highway at the base of Kennesaw Mountain, raising nearly $30,000 to support individuals and families on their journey from crisis to stability! 🧡👟 For Lydia Burton, one of the event’s organizers, the race was about more than crossing the finish line. It was an opportunity to turn her passion into a lasting impact. “City of Refuge has given me a way to take what I was passionate about and serve the community practically. I can serve with confidence, knowing that with their partners, City of Refuge is truly changing lives. A verse I think about often says to ‘Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things’ (Colossians 3:2). What is important to me is making a lasting impact for the people who need it, and my prayer is that you will partner with City of Refuge and us in doing the same.” A huge thank you to the Burton and Matthews families, Aspen Collective, C.W. Matthews Contracting Company, and everyone who ran, volunteered, and supported this special event! The generosity of our partners and supporters makes transformation possible.Latest
