This year, City of Refuge’s annual 5K and 10K Refuge Run went digital, and so did Van Winkle! The “digital run” lasted from June 14-20, and the Van Winkle team participated on our favorite individual routes. Principal Shane Hornbuckle and his family participated on the beach!

2020 marked Van Winkle’s fourth year participating in the annual Refuge Run. City of Refuge’s sustained positive change within our community continually impresses us. Though the official event is over, acts of charity are not restricted by any timeline.
