Family Day 5k - To End Human Trafficking

Sponsored by Dayton First Church (DFC) of the Nazarene in partnership with the Tim Tebow Foundation

 

This event will follow all health department recommendations and guidelines in place at the time of the race.

 

This first annual event takes place at Jake Grossnickle Memorial Park in Englewood.  The 5k race course will take runners around the park and on paved paths through the area and along the Stillwater River.   All those registered by July 1 are guaranteed a race t-shirt.     Proceeds from this event will go to efforts to stop Human Trafficking.   The Tim Tebow Foundation reports that for the last decade, the number of Individuals trapped in the vicious industry of human trafficking has increased with every passing year. The statistics are staggering. Human trafficking generates $150 billion worldwide with the United States leading all other countries in demand. Roughly 70% of victims worldwide are female. 25% are children. The fight for the lives of these 40 million is now a rising concern for organizations, churches, and leaders across the globe. The Tim Tebow foundation is committed to advancing this fight for the lives of those who have been trafficked or who are at risk of becoming victims.   At Dayton First Church of the Nazarene, we join the Tim Tebow Foundation in believing every human being is uniquely and perfectly created by God in His very own image. We believe that God has a plan and a purpose for every single person upon the earth which is designed to be reflective of the true beauty and freedom found in Him alone. Human Trafficking is an offense to the sanctity of human life. It is not only a crime. It is pure evil. We believe it is on all of us to confront this global atrocity and fight like never before for the millions desperately in need of true healing and hope.    Dayton First Church is located at 7031 n.
