FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES- The members, families and business partners of the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators (GLA ALA) are teaming up to host the GLA ALA Justice Jog 5K on October 18, 2009
GLA ALA will organize a 5K Walk/Run to support A Place Called Home (APCH), a South Central LA nonprofit offering youth education, gang prevention and mentoring programs. Youth members of APCH will also walk in the 5K.
Last year’s GLA ALA Justice Jog 5K 2008 raised over $12,000 for charity.
The GLA ALA Justice Jog starts at 8 a.m. at Warner Park, 5800 Topanga Canyon Blvd. in Woodland Hills.
A Denny’s breakfast starts at 7:30 a.m. Registration is still available for $30 per adult, $15 per child (5-12).
The Justice Jog 5K is unique for the way it joins different sectors of the legal community together, such as major LA-based law firms, local and international businesses, athletes, families, members and friends, for a worthy, charitable and fun cause. The event is part of GLA ALA’s Community Challenge Weekend (CCW), a community service initiative that encourages community improvement.

ABOUT A Place Called Home:
A Place Called Home is a non-profit youth center located in South Central Los Angeles providing educational programs, counseling, gang prevention mentoring, music, dance and art classes.
