Borodash is an annual 4-mile charity race through historic Murfreesboro, Tennessee that takes place every Thanksgiving morning. The money raised by Borodash is used to support several different charities. Visit our beneficiaries page to learn more.
Our mission is to bring glory to God by raising money for charitable purposes and providing our community a well-organized Thanksgiving Day family event.
We accomplish this through:
In 2008, Christian missionaries Calvin and Alicia Groen were heartbroken and horrified when they started finding malnourished and dying babies in the woods of Geita, Tanzania. In that part of the world, it is common practice for parents to abandon their children when they can’t provide enough to take care of them. The Groens dreamed of opening an orphanage to care for these children, but they did not have the money to get it started, so they told their friends back in Murfreesboro about their idea.
Fast forward to 2010 when Staci McCreary entered the picture. Inspired by the Groens’ stories, she rallied other Christians together and with the goal of creating a family friendly event to raise money for the orphanage. And thus, Neema House and Borodash were born!
Over the years, Borodash began supporting other local charities, as well, allowing more and more lives to be touched and changed for the better.
