This December, UniverCity board member Chaz Williams will run the Rocket City Half Marathon in Huntsville, Alabama. What began as a personal commitment to run 13.1 miles became a calling from the Holy Spirit to turn each step into a mission of hope.

When you give to Miles For A Mission, you’re not only supporting Chaz’s run — you’re investing in children, families, and communities through UniverCity Family CDC.

Our goal for this specific fundraiser is $13, 110. Follow #MilesForAMission for updates regarding this fundraiser. 

Sponsors go beyond a one-time gift. They commit to funding programs at UniverCity that meet real needs every day, such as:

• After-school tutoring and mentoring
• Family counseling and trauma recovery
• Job training and workforce development
• The Exodus Market providing food for families

When your business sponsors a program or a mile for #MilesForAMission, you’re doing more than giving — you’re partnering with us in faith to transform lives.

As a thank-you, your business will:

• Be recognized on our website as an official sponsor.

• Receive shoutouts on our social media platforms.

• Gain visibility at events and race-day updates.

• Be highlighted as a community partner making a real impact.

Sponsorship isn’t just good marketing — it’s a chance to show your customers and community that you stand for hope, faith, and transformation.

Every dollar makes a tangible difference in the lives of children and families.

• $5 feeds 1 child for a day and helps us reach more families in need.
• $10 keeps the lights on for our after-school program and provides over 7 pounds of food for the Exodus Market.
• $50 powers workforce development programs and provides resources for camps.
• $150 secures essential documentation for 10 people and feeds 90 children for a month.
• $300 helps with rent assistance and feeds 180 children for a month.

Your generosity, whether through Miles For A Mission or direct program sponsorship, allows us to continue inspiring hope, nurturing children, and transforming communities through Christ-centered compassion.
