## Description

**TAKE A STAND WITH EVERY STEP: Because in the fight for our Children, Retreat is not an option!**  

Every day, predators target our children. Every hour, another innocent life is changed forever. On August 22nd, YOU can help make a difference!

Join The Invictus Project's Fourth annual 5K Rescue Run and become part of the front line defending our community's most vulnerable.  This isn't just a race—it's a movement. When you lace up your shoes, you're fighting one of the darkest, fastest-growing criminal enterprises targeting our children.

Your presence sends a powerful message: Not in our community. Not on our watch.  

Bring your colleagues. Rally your neighbors. Unite your friends. Together, we aren't just raising awareness—we're building an army of protection around the children who need us most.  

**Business owners: Your sponsorship doesn't just support an event—it declares your commitment to protecting children in our community. Contact us today to learn how your business can stand with us at Whitney@theinvictusproject.org

*Critical deadline: Register by July 30th to secure your participant swag bag. After this date, supplies and sizes cannot be guaranteed.*
