Race for A Blessing
About this race
St. Joseph Parish is excited to host our fourth annual 5k! We are again raising money for our community neighbor, the Blessing House in Lorain. Blessing House serves as a safety net for families in crisis by providing a safe shelter for children and support for their family. Our goal is to make a donation to help support their mission and ministry, which is so important to our Lorain County community. Strollers and pets are welcome.
Location: St Joseph Parish School 32946 Electric Blvd, Avon Lake, OH 44012
