Saturday, November 1, University Baptist Church is inviting you to join them for the annual “Franklin All-Nighter” – an all-night run & walk to raise funds and awareness for mental health services in our community. The event starts at sundown and runs until sunup on Sunday morning, and you can take part for as long as you want. This year’s goal is to raise $30,000 for mental health programs on the UNC campus and around Orange County.

University Baptist Church is located at the corner of Franklin and Columbia downtown. Click here for more info on the Franklin All-Nighter.
