EXCITING NEWS FROM ROSELAND CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES (RCM)! They will be a part of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon Charity Program this year. The Marathon will be held on Sunday, October 10, 2010. This is a way to turn your passion for endurance events into a meaningful way to help raise money and awareness for RCM. The funds raised for RCM will go to provide 80 women and children with a warm place to sleep, three meals a day, as well as a community that cares, supports, and empowers them. We are asking for each runner to raise a minimum of $500 for RCM. Registration for the Marathon opened on February 1st and it will sell out. Please let us know if you are interested in running on behalf of Roseland Christian Ministries! You can do this through a message on Facebook: Roseland Christian Ministries—Bank of America Chicago Marathon or email: joehuizenga@yahoo.com.
