Run for Fun and Help Someone
/DHM has a passion for non-profits, particularly local groups. Charity runs and walks are an excellent way to get active while giving back this June, before the heat makes it full summer debut. If getting active the next few weekends isn't calling your name, volunteer or make a donation to a district organization. Some of our favorites are Shelter House and the American World Adoption Association. Choose a cause you are passionate about, and do something about it this summer!
