Habitat for Humanity of Springfield (HFHS) hosted the 10th annual Habitat Home Run: 5k, 10k, 1-mile on Saturday, Aug. 24, raising $16,705 for neighborhood revitalization efforts in Woodland Heights. Competitive runners and casual walkers of all ages woke up early and made their way over to Lafayette Park for a 7 a.m. start.
Great American Title Company served as the presenting sponsor for the fourth consecutive year, with an additional 28 sponsors supporting the event. All funds raised by the event will support future revitalization projects in the partner neighborhood.
Neighborhood Revitalization is an ongoing Habitat for Humanity of Springfield program that strives to improve the quality of life of a single neighborhood by working with area businesses, government, residents and other nonprofits who share a vision of revitalization. Woodland Height’s focus areas of revitalization include beautification, community, housing, health and safety.
