My Story…
Hi dear friends and family! This year's run looks a little different. We won't all be in one location, but for those in Colorado, staff will be set up in different locations across the Denver metro area! For Rood Runners, we plan to run/walk the Clear Creek Trail in Golden, Colorado! Our group will meet in person on Saturday, June 7th at 10:00 am at Lion's Park at 10th and Maple in Golden, Colorado.
This fundraiser is one of Open Door's primary ways to invite others to support our mission to address poverty, build communities, and cultivate followers of Christ in Denver. As the Director of Esther House, it would mean a lot to have your support in the work that we're doing there. This is just one small way you can tangibly help our ministry to continue running (no pun intended).
Hope to participate in some way with you!
