In an effort to raise funds for and draw attention to issues facing LGBT youth, the Persad Center will be holding a 5K walk/run at 9 a.m. on Sunday Nov. 4 at the North Park Boathouse in Allison Park. The registration fee, which includes the race as well as food and music afterwards, is $25.

According to the event website (where you can get more information and register):

Persad 5K Run & Fun Walk was created as a way to broaden community awareness and involvement in LGBTQ youth. In the spirit of giving back, why not do good for yourself and your community by participating in our 5K Run & Fun Walk.

Whether you are a competitive runner, a casual walker, or just love the idea of supporting a wonderful cause, participating in Persad’s 5K allows you to show your support for local and regional LGBTQ youth.
