On Saturday, September 24th, 2022 at Palmetto Islands County Park, Carolina Children’s Charity will host their 19th annual care • give • run® 5K Partial Trail Run & Family Fun Walk to benefit Lowcountry children, with birth defects and childhood diseases. This event is presented by Vertical Bridge.

Carolina Children’s Charity was founded in 1987 to help our local children who have challenging medical needs, related to their diagnoses, gain access to services deemed medically necessary and medically beneficial, to enhance their growth and development, enabling these precious children to maximize their fullest potential in life.

Through the years, your charitable giving of time, talent and resources has provided over 4.6 million dollars back to the local children in our community. These exceptional goals have been the consequence of our community families, local business’s benevolence, sponsorships and the relentless support of our fearless firefighters. We are so very grateful for all that we have accomplished…together toward this remarkable cause.

When families lose hope and despair, thinking that no one can help their beloved children, CCC is there to provide support. CCC provides grants, allowing children facing obstacles, to access needed therapy, medical equipment, medical care, medications, and so much more. With your giving, these children with special healthcare needs can receive the support necessary to enhance their abilities to walk, talk, eat and play. Activities they may otherwise have never fully or joyfully experienced.

Carolina Children’s Charity extends an invitation to all of our residents, to participate in this fun family day, featuring a 5K Partial Trail Run and the Family Fun Walk. Other family activities, along with the Run and Walk, include jump castles, local mascot appearances, live music, food truck, ice cream truck, games, and sponsor tables with many special goodies. One affordable cost per person, entitles each individual in attendance, to all activities. Prizes will be awarded for many of the 39 Run categories, and Walk team prizes too! All this, in the surroundings of our scenic, nature oriented, County Park.

You can register for the run online at www.caregiverun2022.eventbrite.com. Online registration ends Tuesday, September 20th at 5 pm.
