This is our 7th annual "Run for Nicaragua" Race! Since 2019 we've been able to raise over $50,000 to build homes for families in several Barrios in Nicaragua. Our goal in 2026 is to raise $20,000 to build homes in the Carlos Fonseca Barrio in Nicaragua. Each home costs $2,700. Can you believe that? A dry, safe home for a family in need for $2,700. Event funds also help Nicaraguan families with school supplies, furniture and more! To find out more visit: https://ccm.life. Join us and make a difference by simply running for Nicaragua in person or virtually.
