This year marks the 20th Annual David Rice Memorial Angel Run & Walk to benefit Holy Angels. The event, like last year, will be virtual: Run your own race, at your own pace, at your own place! The 5K (3.1 miles) can be completed anytime and anywhere between April 17-24, solo or with a group.

The 19th Annual David Rice Memorial Angel Run and Walk benefiting Holy Angels will be held as a virtual 5K for the first time. The event is sponsored by presenting sponsor Sam Pack Auto Group and will culminate Saturday, June 27, with an online community celebration through the hashtag #IRunForAngels.

The rising costs related to special needs services and state budget cuts have left North Louisiana nonprofits scrambling to keep up while the number of those in need continues to climb. Area faith-based groups are stepping up to fill those needs in unique ways.
