Arise 5k raised money for the Rescue Mission’s Bethel House
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The Arise 5K raised money for the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission's Bethel House.
Bethel House is a residential treatment program for women.
Katy Perry's mother, Mary Hudson, supports the cause.
"I've always done Arise conferences for the past 15 years, three in Hawaii, one in California. But I wanted to do one for Santa Barbara. And we're such a healthy community, and everybody hikes and run," said Hudson.
The turnout speaks volumes for the cause.
"When you give, it's given back to you. It's better to be a giver rather than a receiver."
