Miles for Miracles 5k Run / 1 Mile Walk - EVENT CANCELLATION
Dear Friends,
It is with sincere disappointment that we must announce the cancellation of our Miles for Miracles Run/Walk Event that was scheduled for Saturday, August 8th at T.R. Proctor Park in Utica.
Despite our best efforts to promote the event, registration numbers were lower than needed to safely and successfully host the event. After careful consideration, we made the difficult decision to cancel this year's event.
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to you for registering and supporting the Rescue Mission of Utica. Your willingness to participate speaks volumes about your compassion and commitment to helping those in our community who rely on our services.
Refund Information
You will receive a full refund of your registration fee. If you would prefer to turn your registration fee into a tax-deductible donation to support the Rescue Mission's programs, we would be deeply grateful. You will be given the option to do so. If you opt for a full refund, please allow 7 to 10 business days for processing.
While we're disappointed we won't be gathering for the event this year, our mission continues every day. Because of caring supporters like you, we are able to provide shelter, meals, hope, and life-changing services to individuals experiencing homelessness and hardship.
Thank you for your understanding, your generosity, and your continued support. We hope you'll join us for future events and remain part of our mission to transform lives.
With gratitude,
Jace LaPuma
