This event is a fundraiser for the Next Level Community Development Center’s (NLCDC) FREE after-school and summer program. Funds raised during the run/walk will be used in providing a high level of academic instruction, youth development, and college/career readiness activities to Middle Georgia youth falling 150% below the national poverty level and at risk of academic failure. The organization’s mission is to educate, enlighten, and empower youth and families to make healthy lifestyle choices.
