FORA announces 5K and Pickleball fundraiser; warns federal cuts are straining operations
Summary
FORA told the state association it will hold a 5K across three cities on Sept. 6 and a Pickleball Tournament fundraiser in September, and said federal funding cuts have created challenges that the group aims to offset through grants and sponsorships.
The FORA representative told KOHSA members on July 12 that FORA will host its Second Annual FORA 5K Walk for Recovery on Sept. 6 with simultaneous locations in Overland Park, Pittsburg and Hays, and is planning a Pickleball Tournament fundraiser during National Recovery Month.
FORA warned that federal funding cuts have affected operations but said the organization remains active and is seeking alternative funding sources including grants, private sponsors and community partnerships. The representative emphasized FORA’s priority: supporting and advocating for Oxford Houses in Kansas, and invited chapters to help recruit sponsors and volunteers for upcoming events. The FORA report was accepted (MSP).
