PRC Walk […]]]> Pregnancy Resource Center of Rolla’s Walk/5K Run will take place on September 26 at Rolla Lions Club Park! PRC Walk for Life has become one of the most anticipated events in Rolla! It is a day that the pro-life individuals of our community come together to support one of the most vital service organizations in mid-Missouri. We invite you to join us in this year’s Walk/Run for Life! In addition, we ask that you give generously to support our walkers.

As a walker/runner or a sponsor of this event will you really make a difference? Absolutely! In 2025 just 299 sponsored walkers and runners raised enough to save 115 babies!! Not only will you make a difference, you will help us save babies by walking with us!

Since PRC keeps a moderate overhead and they save a lot of babies, we know that it only cost about $1,000 to save a baby! So join with us, walk with us, or donate generously! Someone you don’t know is counting on it!

ONCE AGAIN THIS YEAR! We are partnering with FCNB for our 5K run! Early bird pricing of $25 is good through September 5th and then it will change to $35. The first 150 registrants will receive a commemorative medal for the Run for Life! Additionally, all 5K participants who raise $150 or more in pledges will receive a $25 gift card!

There is no cost to walk in the event.

Please sponsor our walkers/runners and please be as generous as you can! We know that it is important for you to know that your support is making a difference. Every year at this event we publicly introduce the babies in attendance that were saved here!

Special message to sponsors that are Missouri residents: All donations of $100 or more are eligible to receive a 70% tax bonus from the state! This makes a huge difference at tax time. For example, with a generous donation of $1,000, at least $700 of that is coming back to you! If you itemize your taxes, even more will come back to you. Please call our office for more information.

What to expect: Join us in the morning for donuts and coffee while attendees are being registered. There will be a bounce house, face painting, and other treats. After the Walk/5K, hot dogs and brats will be served.

Registration Begins – 9:00am
Event Begins – 10:00am
5K Begins – 10:15am
