HomeRun for Habitat– 5k, Kids Dash & Fall Fest

REGSITER!

Silo Square, located directly across from Snowden Grove Park in Southaven, is the home of the 16th Annual HomeRun For Habitat 5k – KidsDash – Fall Fest. Our event has become the largest of its kind in NW Mississippi with over 9,500 participants raising over $465,000 for the Hernando DeSoto Affiliate of Habitat for Humanity.

The success of the HomeRun for Habitat depends on community participation and sponsorship. Habitat for Humanity needs your help. Once again, our goal is to raise $60,000 to help build ONE HOME. Habitat for Humanity’s vision is a world where everyone has a decent affordable place to live. The Hernando DeSoto affiliate selects deserving families from a pool of applicants to be awarded a home. Each selected family participates in the construction and commits to pay a 20 year, 0% interest mortgage. In 2014, the first Habitat award recipient paid off her mortgage and now owns her home debt free; since then others have completed theirs as well!

We ask you to join us as a sponsor. We invite you to come out and participate in the fun. Sponsorship allows you to promote your business while supporting a very worthwhile cause.

Thank you in advance for helping make a difference in the lives of a DeSoto County family!
