East Nashville Tomato 5K 2009
Camels with a Cause has picked up the pace for the second initiative of 2009—our walk has now turned into a run for the 4th Annual East Nashville Tomato 5K. Teaming up with the Margaret Maddox Family YMCA in East Nashville, Camels with a Cause is raising awareness and funds for the YMCA’s We Build People campaign. The East Nashville Tomato 5K will occur Saturday, August 8, 2009, at East Nashville’s Five Points, on the corner of South 11th Street and Woodland Street.
We Build People
A worldwide charitable fellowship united by a common loyalty to Jesus Christ for the purpose of helping persons grow in spirit, mind and body. —YMCA Mission
The YMCA has a mission to not turn anyone away due to an inability to pay—the We Build People campaign makes this mission possible. Through this campaign, the YMCA has been able to help people grow in spirit, mind and body. With the funds raised, people who would not otherwise have been able to afford a membership with the YMCA have the opportunity to experience everything the organization has to offer.
All funds raised by the East Nashville Tomato 5K directly benefit the Margaret Maddox Family YMCA’s We Build People campaign and programs such as: Y-CAP, Urban Services Youth Development Center, membership assistance, Restore Ministries Fun Company, DiabetesSmart, ABC (After Breast Cancer), swim lessons, Christian Emphasis, and the USSAA program.
