Oklahoma City --The Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) Pottawatomie county office is partnering with Shawnee Frontline Church to host a Finding Forever Families 5K. The 5K was developed to raise awareness about the need for adoptive homes for children who are legally eligible to be adopted and have no identified placement. The 5K is considered a “fun run” meaning that participants can run or walk without a time limit. People of all ages are encouraged to participate.
The event will take place at the Shawnee YMCA on Saturday, May 9, 2015 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. Runners who register before April 24th are guaranteed a free T-shirt as part of the $20 registration fee. The price increases to $25 for those who register after this date and T-shirts will only be available while supplies last. There is no cost to participate for those under the age of 13. Participants can register at www.okdhs5k.eventbrite.com. The goal of this event is to call attention to Oklahoma children who are in need of a forever family.
