ART Of Leadership Marathon Fundraiser To Raise Money For Youth Across The State Of Michigan

Online, August 30, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Detroit, MI - For a third consecutive year, ART of Leadership (ALF) staff and volunteers are putting their time and running skills into their Detroit Free Press Marathon fundraiser.

Organized by ALF staff, the 1-day event is held on behalf of the youth touched by the ART of Leadership program, both to raise funds and to build awareness of the organization's work. It will be held during the Detroit Free Press Marathon on October, 17th, 2010 at 7:00 a.m. The run will be followed by the Finish Line Brunch from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

"On race day, Sunday, October 17th, there may be only one winner in the marathon race, but there could be hundreds of youth who will win through the ART of Leadership programs," said Denise Stein, ALF President and Founder. "Everyone in the Michigan community wins when young people are empowered to take the lead."
