Jaylens Challenge 5km Run/Walk
Prevention of bullying begins with education and education begins here. The aim is to teach tolerance to the tormentors while educating the educators. It's no longer a commitment. It's a promise.
In a vital bid to raise much needed funds the Jaylens Challenge Foundation will be having it's annual Blue Ribbon 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, March 17th, 2012 at Lake Hollingsorth, Lakeland, Florida. For more information on how you can help be a part of this important event click the read more button.
Feedback has shown that bullying is greatly reduced after our presentations! We have children that email Jaylens Challenge quite often with despair over bullying. There are schools in desperate need of our help but do not have the funding to pay for the materials needed to help aid an anti-bullying educational program. The generosity of individual donations alone coming into our website is not enough to help the hundreds of people who have requested our help. We want to change that.
Jaylens Challenge has decided to organize an annual 5K walk/run to assist in our fundraising efforts. It's hoped that through success we can reach more emotional, depressed and in many cases suicidal students in our schools. Bullying in our schools is a serious problem. You simply cannot sit back and allow this to continue unchallenged. Our aim is to make a difference, our aim is to educate.
We need your help.
On Saturday, March 17th, 2012 we will hold our annual Blue Ribbon 5K Run/Walk. All proceeds to benefit the Jaylens Challenge Foundation, Inc.
