The Pennsylvania Run-a-thon is the largest single prisoner volunteer effort in the world. Each year thousands of dollars are raised and donated to charities that help at-risk youth.
Registration to volunteer, make a financial donation or sponsor a prison will begin again in June 2005. Please come back then!

"I think about my children everyday-I think about their future. I think about my own mistakes, and I want a better future for them."
