Description
The Junior League of Asheville is excited to have you join us in the Be the Change Challenge, a 5K fundraiser to be held on April 15th with a virtual option April 1st - 16th. The event will begin across the street from Pleb and follow along the Greenway with an ending celebration at Pleb Urban Winery. JLA encourages registrants to skip, hop, walk, run, or race the event, which will also act as a fundraiser for the JLA. Funds raised for this event will directly support the Be the Change Grant and programs of the Junior League of Asheville.
JLA will be awarding $5,000 through the Be the Change Grant to regional Western North Carolina nonprofits, with a focus on organizations that serve vulnerable individuals and children. For more information, please visit https://asheville.jl.org/.
