5K FUNDRAISER FOR STUDENT GRANT FUND:
Come join us for the 4th annual Run For The Hills 5K happening at 9:00 AM, check in at 8:00 AM. This is a fundraiser for the Student Grant Fund which provides annual grants and scholarships for OHCC students. Run or walk as an individual, or invite family and friends to do this with you as a group. The cost is $25 for adults and $15 for Youth, age 17 and younger. Registration cost increases to $30 and $20 after September 26th. Every dollar will go to the Student Grant Fund which provides annual grants and scholarships to the students God leads to Oak Hills Christian College. This is a great way to begin the day with exercise while investing in the lives of students.
