Event Description

EE Exception 5K is a race to raise funds to expand Grace Church Exceptional Entrepreneurs program and raise awareness for Lee County Special Needs population that ages out of our school system. The Exceptional Entrepreneur program is an innovative ministry of Grace Church where we advocate, empower, and equip adults with special needs by teaching them business and team building skills, as well as life skills and social skills. Our entrepreneurs learn by participating in all aspects of product creation, from ordering supplies, creating and assembling products, marketing and sales. The connections and relationships that are made with their mentors help to develop respect, personal growth, accountability and leadership skills.
