HOST 2 ND ANNUAL KATY COLOR RUN
The 2 nd annual Katy Color Run will be held
Saturday, April 7 th at Kingsland Baptist Church.
The color-filled run will consist of a 5K run
and a 1K kids’ dash. The community event

and vendors and a kids’ fun zone. Proceeds
from the run will benefit local nonprofit organizations:

Clinic offers medical care to uninsured and
underinsured patients. Clothed by Faith gives
gently used clothing to thousands of Katy
area residents in need. Compassion Katy’s
connects churches, businesses and nonprofits
to provide solutions to meet the needs of the
community. Hope Impacts imparts hope to
homeless and under resourced people in the
Katy area by connecting them to services and
resources. Katy Christian Ministries offers food
and emergency financial assistance to those
in need and also offers many other resources
to the community including a domestic abuse
center and a resale store.

Nearly all children with
5p-Syndrome have poor muscle
tone when they are young.
Other characteristics may
include feeding difficulties,
delays in walking, hyperactivity,
scoliosis and significant developmental
delays. A small number of children are born
with serious organ defects and other life
threatening medical conditions, although
most individuals with 5p- can anticipate a
normal life expectancy. With early and consistent
educational intervention, as well as
physical and language therapy, children with
5p-Syndrome are capable of reaching their
fullest potential and can lead full and meaningful
lives. Children born with this very rare
genetic defect will most likely require ongoing
support for life, from a team of parents, therapists,
medical and educational professionals
to help the child achieve his or her maximum
potential.
COLOR FOR A CAUSE 5K COLOR RUN
The Katy community is invited to support Cinco
Ranch Future Business Leaders of America

registering for the Color for a Cause 5K color
run. All of the earnings from this run will go
toward the local nonprofit The Arc of Katy
to help them rebuild their facility that was
destroyed during Hurricane Harvey. The Arc
works to create opportunities for all children
and adults with intellectual and developmental
disabilities (IDD) to enable each person
to be a participating and respected member
of our community. The run will take place at
Cinco Ranch High School on Saturday, April 21,
2018 from 8 AM to 11 AM. The event features
