12/10/2007: "Community Youth Benefit a Winner!"
It was a last minute idea. Pastor Scott Kirschner wanted to hold a run to benefit the Community Christian School's cross country team and the Community Bible Church's youth ministry. They had only weeks to plan when they really needed months, but they gave it a shot and hit the bullseye!
| Quite frankly, I felt that they would be lucky to have 30 or 40 participants and being right here at Christmas, I was certain it would be difficult to obtain sponsorships. I was wrong! It started out slow, but as word spread registrations started pouring in. In the end, there were almost 100 registered participants in the 1st Annual Community Youth Benefit 5k run and 1 mile fun walk. It was a great time for all! |  |

 | It seems to me that this even may just become a Henry County tradition. One that can be enjoyed by anyone in the community. My hat's off to Pastor Scott for a great idea and great implementation! Bradford Realty Group was one of the many sponsors of the event and Brande Bradford was honored with serving on the planning committee. Next year's event is already in the planning stages, with the first organizational meeting to be held in January, 2008. Pencil the event in on your calendar for next December, and contact Brande to let her know you have an interest in participating. She will let you know when plans are finalized.
