(From Press Reports) – Georgia Cares believes that every child deserves to be free. Child victims of Sex Trafficking and Exploitation are robbed of the freedom to make choices, have a voice, and live their life without the horrors of abuse and rape. Their goal is to give these children their freedom back and assist them in becoming healthy, productive members of society. Join them at a 5K Color Run on Saturday, July 30th to celebrate your freedom, and to free victims of child sex trafficking across Georgia.
This is not your normal 5k. Throughout the race, you will be doused in dry colored paint (don’t worry, it is washable) in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere, all for a great cause. You will get a white race t shirt to let your colors show.
