Check Presentation
We presented the proceeds from our Brought to Light 5K to two very deserving local organizations - Jane's Place and the Family Crisis Resource Center. Each organization assists victims of trafficking and abuse, making them great partners in our fight against human trafficking.
Thanks to our donors and event sponsors, each organization was presented with $725.

Living Word Lutheran Church presents the Brought to Light 5K Walk/Run
Register now on Eventbrite (Archived Article)
We’re excited to announce that LWLC has created and will be hosting the Brought to Light 5K Walk/Run, scheduled for July 30, 2021 (International Anti-Human Trafficking Day).
Luke 8:17 tells us that everything done in darkness will be brought to light. Human trafficking is a hidden-in-plain-sight crime that we must all work together to expose and extinguish. Maryland is a hot-spot for trafficking, and the United States - sickeningly - is the world’s number 1 consumer of the “commodity.”
The walk/run is scheduled to take place at Allegany College of Maryland and begin at 6:00 p.m. (on-site registration and check-in at 5:00 p.m.). We’re hosting a twilight event to convey the message that we are bringing the light to the darkness.
Registrations will be taken on Eventbrite and in person for a fee of $25. Registrants will receive a t-shirt and small swag-bag that will contain an LWLC-branded flashlight (bringing the light...) and information from the Maryland State Police about human trafficking. Our goal is to raise at least $1,000, so we will need at least 40 registrants. Please recruit your family, friends, and neighbors to join us in this fight!
UPDATE: Please note that as of July 8, event t-shirts are no longer available. The $25 registration fee has been waived and we will be taking donations in any amount with your registration.
This is a "fun-run" that you can walk or run at your own pace.
Course: Approximately 3.1 laps around the mile track (through arboretum) or 12.4 laps around hard surface track.
Registrants will need to sign a COVID waiver as required by Allegany College of Maryland at check-in.
