COLOR4FRIENDSHIP, taking place on March 15th, 2020, is a one-mile fun run to help raise funds and awareness for the Friendship Circle of Alabama and the special needs community in Birmingham. The Color Run is a fun and healthy way to get people of all ages and abilities to celebrate inclusion and love for those in the special needs community. We are looking for a group of volunteers to help on the day of the event to throw the color powder at the runners, help with registration, and help run the fair after the run. Some volunteers will also be needed to assist with setting up for the event and cleaning up the area afterwards.

Mission Statement
The Friendship Circle's Mission is to provide children with special needs with a full range of social recreational experiences, provide their parents with respite and support, enrich, inspire and motivate teens through sharing of themselves with others.
Description
The Friendship Circle of Alabama was founded in 2012 with the mission to make Alabama a more inclusive environment for the special needs community. Friendship Circle has grown exponentially over the past six years. We have over thirty teen volunteers and are working to incorporate more teen and adult volunteers. Our programs service individuals from toddler to child and teen to young adult. Our programs also support the parents and families of individuals with special needs.
While individuals with special needs have many resources available-doctors, therapists, etc., their social needs, especially with typical peers, are often very limited. Through our programming, Friendship Circle promotes an inclusive community that values all individuals regardless of the challenges they face through social and recreational services.
