We could not have asked for a more perfect day for the
Milwaukee Run for Refugees this year. Beautiful weather, delicious food from all over the globe, and a bunch of pretty awesome people...what more could we ask for?!
Here are a few pics that captured the day.....

| A big thanks to Carly for working the registration table! |
 |
| On your mark.....get set..... |

 |
| Goooooooooooo! |
This year we had 72 participants which included 30 of our newest American friends. We had a lot of children participate and one of the little guys from the Congo almost ran the entire 3 miles of the race. It was unbelievable!
 |
| They were honestly all speedracers! |
The women who are a part of Milwaukee's Newest Artisans were able to showcase their baskets and walked away with a few good sales from the day...AND more plastic bags that were brought by all of you!
 |
| These baskets were pretty darn quick to sell! :) |
Because of all of YOU, we raised a little over $1600 this year and will be using it to help local refugee families with different needs and for various activities for the children; to give them the opportunity to experience things they may not otherwise have the chance to.

| He was cruisin! |
Thank you so much to everyone who supported the event and made this day possible. You know who you are! :) We were so blessed to have such a great turnout and we're already looking forward to next year! Start praying for great weather!

| What a bunch of good lookin' people! |
