Georgia Club to Host 5K Fundraiser for ESP

The Georgia Club is off to the races with high hopes of raising money to provide more children with developmental disabilities the opportunity to attend summer camp.

The Georgia Club Foundation is hosting the seventh annual Front Porch Foot Race on Sunday, June 2 at 2:45 p.m. Runners, walkers and people of all ages are welcome to attend.

The Georgia Club Foundation is dedicated to serving the unmet educational, spiritual, and basic human needs of persons primarily within the surrounding counties of Barrow, Oconee, and Clarke and The Georgia Club Community. Through partnerships, volunteer efforts, and fundraising, the Foundation acts as the helping hand that improves and strengthens life in their community.

With $9,000 already raised in a neighborhood competition among the Georgia Club community, one hundred percent of the proceeds will be donated to local nonprofit Extra Special People (ESP). ESP provides after-school enrichment programs and a summer camp experience for children with developmental disabilities.

The Front Porch Foot Race will include three events— a Tot Trot short course event for children up to five years old, a one-mile fun run and a 5k race. Races kick off at 2:45 p.m.

Register at the race beginning at 2:00 p.m. for $25 or online at www.active.com. The registration fee includes a Front Porch Foot Race T-shirt. Prizes will be awarded to top finishers.
