Jesse's House - Run for Shelter 5k and 1 mile Fun Run

A 5k and 1 mile Fun Run, benefiting Jesse’s House and Bald Ridge Lodge, will be held October 6, 2013 at Fowler Park in Cumming, Georgia and is a Peachtree Qualifier. Jesse’s House and Bald Ridge Lodge are non-profit 501c3 organizations. We provide intensive services for these at-risk youth and are in need of your ongoing support!  Please consider sponsoring this event if you can.

Youth who have been abandoned, neglected, or abused find a safe haven at Jesse’s House, Inc. and Bald Ridge Lodge, Inc. (The Lodge). Youth who have had issues with delinquency or involvement with the legal system are given a nurturing and structured environment to develop healthy, positive behaviors. Through partnership with referring agencies and local volunteers, these youth shelters focus on family reunification and restoration. While living at Jesse’s House and The Lodge, girls and boys from across central and north Georgia receive counseling, mentoring, and community support to assist them in this critical life-stage and adequately prepare them for adulthood.

You have a unique opportunity to support both of these organizations through sponsoring the Run for Shelter 5k and 1 mile Fun Run. Net proceeds will go directly to Bald Ridge Lodge and Jesse’s House to support the services provided to at-risk youth.

Bald Ridge Lodge, Inc. is a non-profit Stabilization and Assessment Center for boys located in Forsyth County, Georgia which serves boys ages 12 to 17. The Lodge provides help to those who are in the custody of the Department of Family and Children Services or referred by the local Juvenile Court. With the backing of both State and local government, the Lodge opened its doors in August of 2008.

Jesse’s House, Inc. is a non-profit emergency and long-term shelter for at-risk female youth. Since 1998, Jesse’s House has been providing safe and structured care in a nurturing environment to girls 7 to 17 years of age. The residents served at Jesse’s House are in the custody of the Department of Family and Children Services, or referred by the Department of Juvenile Justice or the local Juvenile Court.
