Run for Freedom

 

Borcherding is proud to be partnering with the Aruna Project of Cincinnati again in 2016.  The Aruna Project is a nonprofit organization that works at bringing and sustaining freedom to the enslaved in South Asia. This year's Run for Freedom race is one small way to help improve the lives of many.

When: Saturday April 16th 9am

Start/Finish Line: The Freedom Center

Money from both the entry fee and additional sponsorship will benefit the Aruna Project, an international human rights organization focused on bringing and sustaining freedom to the sexually enslaved in South Asia through employment marked by holistic care.

 

Run for a specific enslaved woman by name to help bring and sustain her freedom. You'll be assigned a specific woman that the Aruna staff and partners know by name. Run for many, run for their freedom.
