Families of FANA, a support network of over 400 families who have completed or are in the process of completing an adoption through the Foundation for the Assistance of Abandoned Children, will hold a 5K Run and 1-Mile Walk at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 8, at Como Lake Park in Lancaster.
FANA is a private orphanage located in Bogotá, Colombia. Families of FANA provides adoption and educational services to families who have completed or are in the process of adoption. In addition, the organization promotes a social and cultural connection for families from Western New York, Ontario and Pennsylvania to foster their children’s appreciation and understanding of Colombia. This all-volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization raises funds for FANA in Bogotá and also supports local children’s charities in Western New York.
Pre-registration for the run and walk is $20 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under, or $25 and $15 on the day of the race. The first 100 registrants will receive a free event T-shirt. First, second and third place awards for both men and women will be presented following the race.
A post-race party featuring music, empanadas and juice will be offered. To register for the event, please visit http://www.itsyourrace.com/event.aspx?id=10712.
