The 10th Annual Slawburger Chase 5k/10k will kick off Fayetteville MainStreet’s Slawburger Festival on Saturday, April 20, 2024!! This family friendly event is for all fitness levels, from seasoned distance runners to walkers.

The proceeds from this event will help Always Endure fulfill its mission: For the glory of God, Always Endure exists to remove financial barriers for adoptive families, barriers to care for patients enduring major medical diagnoses, and barriers to placement for children in foster care.

Chip timing will be used for this race. We will have overall, masters, and age group awards for the 5k and 10k courses.

Thanks to Ken’s Fast Foods, every participate will receive one of their Famous Slawburgers once they cross the finish line!!

The 4th Annual 5k will be on Saturday, November 11, at 8:00 a.m.!  November is National Adoption Awareness Month and proceeds from this race will help support the mission of Always Endure as we remove financial barriers for adoptive families.

Domestic adoptions range from $25,000 – $60,000+ and overseas adoption can be much more expensive. Without the prayers and support of so many, we would not have been able to provide our daughter, Bella, her forever home when we adopted her in 2018.

This event kicks off the Saturday events for the Host of Christmas Past – an amazing Christmas-themed festival! This 5k run will be like no other. Princess Bella has invited you to her Snow Ball so it’s time to RSVP by registering below and get your outfit ready!!

Ruffled shirt? Tutu? Tights? Something with Christmas vibe? What will you wear to the Ball? As fellow princes and princesses, we’ll make sure you have your crown and a red carpet entrance. We’re excited to see your style all dressed up! 

The 5k course will be timed this year. However, if you prefer a shorter distance without timing, register to do our 1 Mile Fun Run!

The deadline to register to receive an event t-shirt (5k only) is Saturday, October 21, 2023. We will not be ordering extra t-shirts.

“No one has ever been this kind to me!” -CCD recipient

Our second Community Care Day will bless and support five Clearview Cancer Institute patients living in Huntsville/Madison County, Alabama! We are in need of five businesses, organizations, and/or churches who can partner with us on this serve day. Partnership includes providing volunteers and any needed supplies and tools to complete the patient’s yard work. We also would love for you to get to know the patient by listening to their story and praying with them before leaving their home.

The heart behind Community Care Day comes from our story. After enduring a round of chemotherapy treatment, our founder was laying on his couch when he heard a lawn mower fire up. An area dad and two boys in his custody had showed up and surprised him by mowing his yard. It was such a blessing that we now are able to reciprocate it with other cancer patients who are unable to do yardwork due to treatment.

Want to be a CCD partner? Please contact Corey Buckner at 931-625-1861 or corey@alwaysendure.com.

In partnership with Tennessee Kids Belong, this Next Step is to learn more about WRAP Teams and provide a brief overview of Trauma to better equip you to determine the way you can serve a foster family best. Please note, childcare will not be provided and due to the nature of the topics covered, children should not be present. Please submit the form below if you can come and feel free to bring anyone interested in serving on a WRAP Team or volunteering to support a foster/kinship/adoptive family.

As House of Hope is built and established locally, we will offer additional training to meet any additional requirements. In the interim, we encourage you to attend the WRAP Volunteer Training that is being offered and serve foster families through wrap around.
