The Auburn chapter of International Justice Mission, or IJM, announces its first fundraising event the Jog for

Justice 5k to be held on Sunday, March 28, at 1 p.m.

President of IJM, Grace Ann Hollis, said, “IJM is a human rights organization that works to relieve victims of human trafficking, slavery and domestic violence.”

IJM was started in 1997 by a group of lawyers, human rights professionals and public officials to work to reprimand oppressors who have caused suffering in 12 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. IJM works with individual cases to bring justice to sufferers through local court systems.

The Auburn chapter of IJM was founded this year and is looking forward to its first fundraising event. The Jog for

Justice is 3.1 miles starting at the Mell Street entrance of the Ralph B. Draughon Library and continues around

campus. There are prizes for the first three male and female runners.

Registration is $10 before hand, which includes a t-shirt, and $15 the day of the race. For registration

information, contact Hannah Flayhart at hlf0002@auburn.edu and registration forms may be turned into IJM’s mail box in 3130 Student Center in the SGA office. All proceeds will be donated to the IJM national headquarters located in Washington D.C.
