Dear School,
Central Baptist Church will once again hold its Dayspring 5K Road Race, 1 Mile Fun Run and Tot Trot event on Saturday, November 8, 2008. This is the 6th year for the event, which was organized to provide support to schools in our community. The race will benefit the selected school(s) monetarily and will benefit Central by letting people know who we are. Central Baptist Church is excited about the upcoming road race that will be ran over local neighborhood streets around Central Baptist Church. We understand that every school in Douglas County has a project that could use financial support this year and we are looking forward to partnering with a school in Douglas County to raise money for one of their projects.
Any Douglas County School, department, club or group may submit an application to be the recipient of the proceeds of the race by telling us how you would use the money. Last year New Manchester Elementary was awarded $4,900 to help with the beautification of the school grounds and also to help make improvements to the playground. Prior to that $3,500 was awarded to Brighten Academy to help start their library. In 2005, $4,800 was awarded to Bill Arp Elementary to help with their playground. In 2004, Mt. Carmel Elementary was awarded $3,800 to rebuild their playground. Prior to that in 2003 Chapel Hill High School Panther Club was awarded $3,500 for their Stadium Enlargement Fund. This year we hope to award even more money and want to give your school the opportunity to apply for and possibly receive the event proceeds.
Please make copies of this application to distribute to interested groups or clubs within your school. Applications may be faxed to 770-949-9430 or mailed to Dayspring 5K, c/o Central Baptist Church, 5811 Central Church Road. Douglasville, GA 30135. The application deadline is April 15th, 2008.
Please Note: Grantees will be required to help solicit sponsorship and secure volunteers for the event day. If you have any questions or need additional information, please call Ronnie Davis at Central Baptist Church. 770-942-7275.
We look forward to working with your school group!

Dayspring 5K Selecting A Beneficiary Criteria
The purpose of the Dayspring 5K is to provide community support and to visibly promote Central Baptist Church as we represent our Lord, Jesus Christ. Therefore, Central Baptist Church will host the Dayspring 5K Run and select a school within the county to receive the benefit from the race.
- School must be located in Douglas County.
- Must be a one-time project or renovation.
- Cannot to be used for scholarship or salary for staff.
- The project must be something that will benefit or improve the school.
- The committee is to select one school in Douglas County that will benefit significantly from the proceeds of the Dayspring 5K. The school selected will be asked to supply volunteers to work the race and to help seek sponsorship. With this in mind, it may hurt to choose more than one school each year.
- A school or group within the school may not be awarded the benefits for a period of two years after receiving the award. Simply put, a school may not receive the proceeds from the Dayspring 5K for the next two consecutive years after winning.
- The decision made by the Dayspring 5K planning committee is final.
