Race Hits $100,000 Fundraising Milestone

Decatur, Ga.- DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston thanks the community for joining her for the 9th Annual Love Run 5K on Saturday, February 24, 2024 on the Decatur Square.  DA Boston created the event in 2016 while serving as DeKalb County Solicitor-General to commemorate Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month and raise funds for domestic violence survivors. 

Proceeds from the Love Run benefit the important work of the Women's Resource Center to End Domestic Violence (WRC).

While the total number of donations is still being finalized, DA Boston is proud to announce the Love Run reached an impressive fundraising milestone this year having raised more than $100,000 for WRC since the event’s inception.

More than 360 runners and walkers pre-registered for the 9^th annual race, one of the highest numbers of participants in the race’s history.
