Miles for Smiles Inaugural 5K - Registration Now Open!

Saturday, May 4th

“Those who look to Him are radiant: their faces are never covered in shame.”  Psalm 34:5

This year, as a part of our Lions Lead student program, Westminster has been sponsored by the Chick Fil A Leader Academy. The students involved with the program are equipped through leadership lessons to become servant leaders serving our community.  In culmination of the year’s efforts, our students have developed an Impact Project, and we are excited to announce this project to you!

In partnership with Fresh Wind Recovery, the Chick Fil A Leader Academy of Westminster is sponsoring a Miles for Smiles 5K on Saturday, May 4th at Wire Park in Watkinsville.  The goal is to raise funds to help with dental care for individuals who have overcome substance abuse and found new life in Jesus. As these individuals seek to become productive members of society and attain employment, they have every reason to smile.  All proceeds from the race are going to Fresh Wind in order to aid of their recovery patients' dental health needs and allow them to smile with confidence.
