An annual run organized by the local Muslim community will see funds going to Border City Connects (BCC).
The announcement was made at the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at on Sept. 25.
Giving back to the community fulfils their Jama’at motto, “love for all, hatred for none.”
"In this society, we want to serve humanity as much as possible,” stated Imam Imran Nasar. “This is one of those initiatives the Muslim Jamm’at does to serve mankind.”
Additionally, the Muslim community, which has around 140 members, also operates other community initiatives such as blood and food drives.
BCC is thrilled to have been chosen as the partner for this fundraising effort.
“We extend our heartfelt thanks to the organization groups, particularly the Ahmadiyya Muslim Elder Association, for their dedication to this meaningful event,” said Mike Sidoryk, interim executive director for BCC
“We’re excited that this year’s event will raise funds to support the vital programs we offer.”
The hope is for the funds to go into the general account to support their many services, including the Border City Express, Medical Trip Program, Trisha Program and Safe Drive Home.
Everyone is invited to participate in the event, which will run at 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 5 at Bud Miller All Seasons Park. For more information, visit the Run For Lloyd website or contact the event team at info@runforlloyd.com.
