Alpha Omega Race Series-Adoption by Running

It's a Child's Life Foundation (IACL) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit based out of Ada, OK driven by the desire to improve the lives of children through advocacy, education, support & love, no matter the cost.  Alpha Omega Race Series (AORS) was created by IACL to fund private adoption through distance and/or consistent running.  The selected mileage represents the beginning and end distance goals of the vast majority of runners.  Adoption also has a beginning and end.  It is journey, not a sprint or a one day event.  Adoption is a long term commitment towards a goal, much like running.  Both require planning, determination, patience, and embracing the process of refinement as we journey towards a destination.  The beauty of the AORS is it can be done in your time and in your neighborhood during the 2020 calendar year.  Because of our generous sponsor,  100% profits raised will go towards adoption fees.  We hope to help MANY families complete their adoption.  Details on adopting family qualifications are posted on www.itsachildslife.org.
