WEEKLY SPOTLIGHT:  Cross Country to sponsor First Annual 5K & Fun Run to benefit TS4A

Rocky Mount, NC - The North Carolina Wesleyan women's cross country program, under the direction of head coach Dominic Modise, is pleased to announce its plans to sponsor NCWC's First Annual 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run to benefit Tennis Shoes 4 Africa.  The February 21st race will feature a fast, flat course that begins on campus and takes runners through the adjacent Ford's Colony neighborhood. The cost is $25 to participate in the 5K and $20 to participate in the Fun Run. All proceeds go directly to TS4A.

TS4A was instituted by Modise last season and revolves around the donation of used pairs of shoes that will be shipped to his hometown of Mmabatho, South Africa. There, kids fight the effects of poverty and disease on a daily basis, and while many children dream of playing tennis and other sports, they cannot afford the necessary shoes and equipment. Tennis Shoes 4 Africa brings these children one step closer to their dream of participating in sports.

For more information on the 5K & Fun Run, please click here or contact Coach Modise at 252-985-5201.  You can also access TS4A's official website at http://www.tennisshoes4africa.org/.

Registration ends February 19th, so help brighten a child’s day in South Africa by signing up today!
