Emily Ryan took her passion and gift from God “running long distance” outside the church walls to spear head a monthly event Pace with Purpose. The plan for Pace with Purpose was to put on a fun run once a month and collect donations from the participants for a worthy cause. Pace with Purpose has been meeting monthly since April to raise money for non-profit organizations focusing primarily on groups that support children.
This weekend, Saturday, August 22nd, Pace with a Purpose will have their last monthly meeting at Wesselman Park at 8:00 a.m. It is a fun 3 mile walk/run that can be made shorter or longer if desired. Families and strollers are welcome! All donations will go to the Vanderburgh County Boys and Girls Club. Checks can be made out to The Boys and Girls Club or Pace with Purpose.
One of their events collected diapers for the Evansville Christian Life Center. Another event drew only 11 participants, but raised $600 for the Court Appointed Special Advocated (CASA) program.
Their fall project will raise money for a family in need at Bethel Temple. Please visit their blogsite for more information (first post addresses our cause). www.pacewithpurpose.blogspot.com. Pace with Purpose also has a facebook group you can join to get more information.
