Hope Mommies – Dallas Chapter is hosting the first annual 5K Fundraiser in Coppell on Oct.10. This 5k is designed to raise awareness and funds to help for the Hope Boxes given to grieving moms, and for scholarships for the local moms to attend the yearly retreat.
Hope Mommies offers a community of women in an online and in-person format, to provide someone for the mothers to reach out when they are feeling isolated and destroyed by the loss of their child. The groups offer support in three ways: an online Facebook forum, a yearly retreat, and bi-yearly Bible study groups that can meet either online or in person.
Hope Boxes serve as the connection point for new moms of loss to get plugged in to our community. These boxes are left in local hospitals and contain a Bible, a journal, a devotional, a brochure to help the mom connect with our community, and a personalized note from a fellow Hope Mom.
The goal of the 5K fundraiser is to have at least 300 runners join them on Oct. 10. For more information about their partnership opportunities and to register for the race by the deadline of Sept. 1, visit http://www.active.com/coppell-
