Home of Hope Family 5K - 2015
Thank you to all of our participants, volunteers, families, and Ozarks Teen challenge staff for showing up and making our 1st annual Home of Hope Family 5K a success! Over 150 participants ran or walked to fight addiction, support those struggling, and to honor those who have been lost.
Our students and their families felt the love and support of the Ozarks Community and we cannot thank you all enough! Seeing our boys cross the finish line with their families and friends by their sides or cheering them on meant the world to them and to us.
Ozarks Teen Challenge would also like to thank the family of Brendon Dean for their support. Brendon and those we have lost will never be forgotten. We fight on and their memories drive us in this battle against teen addiction. Seeing the love of such an amazing family driving them to continue to help others is an inspiration to us all.
