Junior League Of Los Angeles Runs Toward 5th Year In LA Big 5K


LOS ANGELES, March 12, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Junior League of Los Angeles, Inc. "JLLA" is eagerly preparing for its fifth year as a Participating Charity Partner with the LA Big 5K. This year's race kicks off Saturday, March 17th, at 8:00 am at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The LA Big 5K is an exciting opportunity for JLLA members to raise funds and increase awareness for the organization's signature training programs and direct service projects with community partners such as Alliance for Children's Rights, Children's Bureau, Mar Vista Family Center, The People Concern, United Friends of the Children, and Uplift Family Services. Proceeds raised at this year's LA Big 5K will help us improve access to resources for Los Angeles area transition-age foster youth and underserved students seeking higher education.

Over 130 JLLA members are expected to join as LA Big 5K participants and raise funds to support our community partners and programs. Junior League members have been fundraising for several months, with an ambitious goal of raising $65,000.

"Our organization, through its community partnerships and programs, empowers women to create change in Los Angeles," says JLLA President Katie Young McCullough. "By supporting our members who are running the 5K you'll be helping us achieve our mission."
