Dear Friendship House Community,

The Friendship House is honored to be a sponsor for the 1st annual Frances 5K & Festival on Sunday, September 12th with proceeds going to a scholarship fund that the university has created in memory of Frances Kaneene.

I can personally testify to what a remarkable person Frances was and to the wonderful legacy she has left with us through her family and the university.

Here is the link to the website for more information and to sign up to walk or run which you can participate in in-person at Hawk Island Park or virtually: https://runsignup.com/Race/MI/Lansing/Frances5K

For more information on the legacy Frances leaves behind, please read the article from the State News: https://statenews.com/article/2021/04/5k-event-to-uplift-adviser-scholarship#

For those planning to participate in-person, the festival is filled with performances and food so I encourage you to make it in person, if you can.

God’s Blessings to you all and please let me know if you have any questions.

Dan Winter,
Executive Director
