HUTCHINSON,
Kan. —
The BrightHouse mission is “Lighting the
way to end abuse,” and that slogan will be brought to life with the
first ever Lighting the Way 5K Glow Run to support assistance
and shelter through BrightHouse.
Strataca offered to partner with BrightHouse to create a fundraising event, and the slogan made a Glow Run the perfect choice. This is a cross country style run (or walk) 650’ below the earth’s surface in the salt mine with only glow sticks and a flash light to light the way. Participants will need to wear a helmet and bring a light. Every participant will receive a glow-in-the-dark t-shirt, BIB and glow stick. The first 200 runners are guaranteed a glowing medal.
The run will take place Sunday morning, May 22. Entry fees are $45. There is also a sponsorship program available if you can’t participate but would like to sponsor a BrightHouse support group member. BrightHouse provides confidential, free, non-judgmental support 24/7 to victims of domestic or sexual abuse.
Bretz Injury Law, Home Instead, Eagle Media and Strataca are helping BrightHouse make the run a reality.
