In addition to helping VCF, you will also have the opportunity to paint rocks for Victory House in Bethlehem, while you wait for the awards ceremony. They have a garden/sanctuary for their residents (many of whom are veterans working to overcome addiction).

More information about these opportunities will be sent via email closer to race day.
