MELBOURNE, Fla. – August 5, 2014 – Brevard Family Partnership is seeking sponsors to support its ninth annual Run and Walk for Love 5K on Saturday, November 22 at the Church at Viera. The event is held in recognition of National Adoption Month and helps to raise awareness of the many children in Brevard County, currently in foster care, who are available for adoption.

In addition, The Running Zone heavily promotes the event through their online channels and at race venues preceding the Run and Walk. Hundreds of promotional posters are also distributed to businesses and organizations throughout the county.
