Our annual Race to Spark Change is our marquee in-person event, and this year matters more than ever. It is inmemory of our dear collegue Jim Wersching, who truly believed in the mission of HHPLift. He wanted HHPLift to reach new heights of success and impact. And he loved The Beatles.
Jim was always in the Ben Arkes LiftTM Center. He loved working with Program Associates and was a mentor and friend to many. His energy filled the room and inspired everyone to give it their all every day. HHPLift.com // info@HHPLift.com
At our Ben Arkes LiftTM Center, individuals with barriers to fair wage employment are provided critical career development skills through on-the-job training, education seminars & events,access to software & computer skills training, and more.
The Jim Wersching Memorial 5k Race to Spark Change will be held annually in his honor. All proceeds will support our work to reduce the cycle of poverty and forge economic independence for people overcoming barriers to employment globally, and locally through our LiftWorksTM Program.
