Second Chocolate Run exceeds expectations
W 022214 CHOCOLATE RUN 07
Near the starting line at Saturday's Chocolate Run 5K, Lakeisha Hall cheers on members of the local chapter of Black Girls Run, a national organization that encourages African American women to take charge of their physical health.
Donations are still coming in, and the second Chocolate Run possibly could see around $30,000 raised when the final tally is calculated. Early last week, the run had raised around $28,000, said Delia Mobley, the board chairwoman for Open Hearts Community Mission, the organization for which the 5K run/walk was held. The mission helps homeless people with immediate needs while also providing them resources to help them “get back on their feet,” according to the Chocolate Run’s website, www.thesweetestrace.com.
