Georgia CALLS Sponsors SAFFT 5K Event on July 11th

Georgia CALLS, the Georgia Center For Abundant Living Life Skills, a unique 501(c)3 non-profit helping high-risk, returning citizens make a successful transition from incarceration back into society as business entrepreneurs, is a proud sponsor of “Color Outside the Lines 5K” to benefit foster and adoptive children and families in crisis.

The Color Outside the Lines 5K will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2015 at 8 a.m. at Cumming Fairgrounds, 235 Castleberry Road, Cumming, GA. It is presented by Supporting Adoption & Foster Families Together (SAFFT), a 501(c)3 non-profit that protects children, rebuilds families and empowers caregivers.

The event is for all ages. Participants will enjoy an exciting, timed 5K in a safely designed course inside the fairgrounds, complete with music and color throws. There will be an after party, with awards presented for first, second and third place for each age group as well as a giant paint throw to round out the event.

Georgia CALLS will have an informational tent on-site with giveaways so attendees can learn more about how their program is transforming mindsets, growing leaders and building entrepreneurs, one life at a time. Community awareness surrounding this reentry initiative is a key component to building better communities and creating safer neighborhoods.

“Georgia CALLS and SAFFT are similar in mission, in that we provide resources and support to help and empower those who need it and to make a difference in people’s lives,” said Mark Mobley, Executive Director of Georgia CALLS. “We believe that supporting our fellow non-profits is essential and are honored to sponsor this important event.”

“We are honored and humbled that Georgia CALLS is our Title Sponsor this year. We love and believe deeply in their mission and we consider them one of our strongest partners. We look forward to hosting their team and the hundreds of runners on July 11th to support our mission to protect children, rebuild families, and empower caregivers in our community,” said Ashley Anderson, Executive Director of SAFFT.

More than 400 runners participated in last year’s 5K. Every runner receives a shirt, a swag bag and a color packet for the after party.
