About the Event
The event check-in starts at 7:00am EST with a 1K Fun Run start at 8:00am followed by the 5K at 8:30am. There will be individual awards (multiple age ranges), Carolina Strive drawstring swag bags, Carolina Strive hand towels, and one size fits all wristbands to commemorate our inaugural event. All participants will receive their personal time and a certificate. This philanthropic event will aid our mission in developing area youth into well-rounded citizens and serve as a corporate team building outing. Let's all RISEUP and Run Over Cancer together! We are a 501-C3 non-profit organization, therefore all donations are 100% tax deductible.
**Funds will stay local to support patients through UNC Health Nash Foundation’s Cancer Fund. The Foundation works to fill gaps in health care and community outreach through programs that are not part of the hospital’s regular operating budget or when additional support is needed. Proceeds from this event will go specifically to help cancer patients with things like medication, transportation, and nutritional supplements.**
