The 10th annual Chick-fil-A Vidalia Road Race presented donations totaling $47,371.88 to three local non-profit organizations: Paul Anderson Youth Home, Vidalia Heritage Academy, and WinShape Camps. Each charity received $15,790.63 from the proceeds of the event, which took place in Vidalia.

The road race featured 1-mile, 5K, and 10K distances, drawing runners and walkers of all abilities from the community. Proceeds from the event will support the faith, education, and personal growth of young people served by the Paul Anderson Youth Home, Vidalia Heritage Academy, and WinShape Camps for Communities.

"Fitness and exercise are central to our program, and it's rewarding to see the community unite for healthy activities that benefit our mission," said Glenda Anderson Leonard, co-founder of the Paul Anderson Youth Home. "Our Vidalia community consistently supports this event, and we appreciate their generosity and the support from our friends at Chick-fil-A."

Britt McDade, owner and operator of Chick-fil-A Vidalia, noted the strong community participation. "This event highlights our community's strength. The record-breaking participation we see annually is truly inspiring in its support for these incredible organizations."
