Proceeds:  All proceeds of this 5K fundraiser will support “Pennies for Pigs”, a mission project started nine years ago by the youth of Macedonia United Methodist Church in the Abner Community.  Since 2016, the proceeds of the Pennies for Pigs mission project have benefited “Faith in Vision”, a local non-profit based out of Seagrove that sponsors needy children at Christmas in the three-counties of Randolph, Montgomery and Moore. This 5K was started in 2013 as a school project for one of the youth members of Macedonia UMC. The youth are continuing this 5K in order to fund their missions outreach.
