“What an amazing event,” said Mark Stelter, professor of criminal justice at LSC-Montgomery and co-advisor of The Mission. “They raised over $10,000 for the orphanages in Nepal and India! What an incredible student success story!
After two months of planning, a great deal of advertising, and attendance at the run of over 300 people, the event was a huge success.
The money raised from this event will help build underfunded orphanages for children rescued from human trafficking in India and Nepal.
