Lory’s Place Events Raise Awareness for Grief Healing
In Southwest Michigan, the spring and summer months are
a busy time of year for locals and those visiting our beautiful
lakeshores. It is also during these seasons that Lory’s Place
invites participants and community members to attend and
participate in two annual events that are important to supporting
grief healing and education in our community.
The Lory’s Place Run, Walk, Rock 5K took place on what started
as a rainy morning in May and ended with sunshine and warmer
weather. This year’s event welcomed 750 runners and walkers
through stunning views alongside the marina on the river, past
the shoreline of Lake Michigan, and down the historical brick
streets of Ridgeway in St. Joseph, Michigan. Local businesses
were able to show their support through sponsorships and
in-kind donations.
The Lory’s Place Reflections
Dinner and Auction
welcomed guests at
the Black River Barn in
South Haven, Michigan. The
evening hosted a night of
friendship and fundraising
along with educating those in
attendance on the significant
impact of the services and
support Lory’s Place provides
in our communities. Along
with the 238 community
members in attendance, area
businesses and vendors
sponsored and donated
items to make this year’s
event successful.
Without the wonderful support of those throughout the
community, local businesses, and organizations–the
success of these events and the profound impact they
have on people’s lives would not be possible.
