Come join us in supporting Profugo at the first annual Sweat For Hope 5k run/walk -- 5 km is only 3 miles, so it's just a quick walk in the park -- or a good workout if you feel like running! There are prizes for the top times in six age groups, and a post-race BBQ for all to enjoy!
When: Saturday, October 25, 2008, 9:00 am
Where: Ridley Creek State Park, Pavilion 17 (Media PA)
Why: To support Profugo, a non-profit working to facilitate global development work
About Profugo:
We are ordinary people looking to join hands with folks in under-developed or developing communities. Our hope is to combine our skills and resources to help break the oppression caused by poverty, lack of infrastructure, sickness, etc.
We have developed a "Center of Development (COD)" concept that involves a Health Center, a Business Development Center and a Microfinance Center. This concept is being developed with repeatability in mind. We envision each COD as not only being sustainable, but also profitable.
