The 11th Annual Run for the Son 5k which was held on May 6th, 2017 was a huge success thanks to all of our Runners, Sponsors, and Volunteers.

Luke Stolz and Denise Hoek were the overall race winners.

Clear Creek Middle School took home the Cup of Champions, the trophy awarded to the team with the most active participants on race day. The team accepted the trophy in memory of Doris Sanford.

Pleasant Grove Baptist Church accepted the Cup of Legends, the trophy awarded to the team with the most registered participants.

We are so thankful to all of the Sponsors and Volunteers that made the 2017 Run for the Son possible. Without these generous businesses and individuals, it would not be possible to put on events like the Run for the Son or to minister to the students of Gilmer County.

We are so grateful to everyone who sponsored our race this year.  Our supporters make the ministry at CLC possible. Because of the businesses, organizations, churches, and individuals who support the 5K, our yearly banquet, and provide vital monthly support, we are able to serve the students of Gilmer County.  Your prayers and sacrificial giving make an eternal difference.  We are excited to be starting our 5th grade class in August and are progressing on our Clear Creek facility.  Please join us in thanking our sponsors for supporting our ministry and making a difference in the lives of teens in Gilmer County.  Thank you!
