Event Description
24th Annual Run for Angels: Run for a Cause!
Lace up your shoes for the teenage girls of Angel's House! For 24 years, our community has supported Newnan-Coweta Angel's House, Inc., a licensed community-based children's shelter providing vital services and more than 40,000 restful nights to hundreds of foster girls removed from dire situations of abuse and neglect.
The Run for Angels 5k/10k Road Race and Fun Run on Saturday, February 7, 2026, is our sole fundraising event. Your participation directly supports the teenage girls who call Angel's House home!
