Saturday, April 18, 8 a.m. kicks off our fifth R4G, the 5K/10K Peachtree Qualifier race through the surrounding neighborhoods.  This popular race has raised money for our Youth Group to go on mission trips each summer, and the kids need lots of financial and volunteer support this year.

You can support this cause by writing a check made out to St. Andrews Presbyterian Church with R4G in For line.  Just drop your offering in the offering plate or give it to your favorite youth to handle.

We will also need lots of volunteers the day of the race.  Please see Erin Johnston or Laura Papotto to volunteer for the race.

Sponsors are important.  If you have a business you want publicized, work at some place or you are willing to ask a local business to sponsor the race, please see Paige Kubik or Kim Rometo.  We need more sponsors for the back of the T-shirt and to bring our fundraising up to a positive level.

Mainly, please tell every one you know about the race and put it on social media.  We need everyone to spread the news.
