Adoptions From The Heart (AFTH), will host their 4th Annual Find Her Footing 5K Walk, Run, and Kid’s Dash on April 10, 2016 at Delaware County Community College in Media, PA. Last year, over 180 people registered to run the course and many others came to cheer on the athletes and participated in the other race day activities. AFTH raised approximately $5,400 for the Birthmother Fund and the Birth Parent Scholarship Fund at the 3rd annual event and now that registration is open for this year’s race, they hope to make this year even more spectacular.
All proceeds from the Find Her Footing 5K will benefit the Birthmother Fund and Birth Parent Scholarship Fund. The Birthmother Fund supports women who have worked with AFTH, both before and after pregnancy. Each woman is facing unique challenges and many find themselves in need of a little additional financial support to help with housing food, transportation, etc. in order to regain their footing. Those in need are not demanding financial help but are silently trying to find a way out. A little financial relief from difficult circumstances can make a huge difference, and Adoptions From The Heart has seen it propel women into a better place, with ongoing stability.
Adoptions From The Heart established the Birthparent Scholarship Fund to provide assistance to Birthparents who wish to further their education, but need a little assistance in achieving their career goals. These educational scholarships are available to Birthparents after they have made an adoption plan for their child, and can be used at trade schools or undergraduate universities. These scholarships are available to birthparents who have not worked with Adoptions From The Heart as well!
Adoptions From The Heart hopes to rally the community again for sponsors, donors and participants who support their cause to better the lives of the men and women in the surrounding area. For those unable to participate in the 2016 5K, there are other ways to get involved including the “No Sweat” club.
